Answer:

y = 0.96(x -√5)(x + √5).

Step-by-step explanation:

The two zeros of this polynomial are (0, 0) and (5, 0), and the vertex is (2.5, -6), all of this info readily available from the graph.

The standard equation of a vertical parabola with vertex at (h, k) is

y - k = a(x - h)^2, where the vertex is represented by (h, k).  Since we know that the vertex is (2.5, -6), the equation for the given graphed parabola is

y + 6 = a(x - 2.5)^2

Since the graph of this parabola goes through the origin, (0, 0), the following must be true if we substitute 0 for both x and y:

0 + 6 = a(0 - 2.5)^2, or 6 = a(6.25).  Thus, a = 6/6.25, or a = 0.96.

The equation of this polynomial must then be:

y + 6 = 0.96(x - 2.5)^2, which is satisfied by both (0, 0) and (5, 0).

This equation can be rewritten as

y = 0.96(x^2 - 5x + 6.25) - 6 = 0.96x^2 - 4.8x + 6 - 6, or just

y = 0.96x^2 - 4.8x.  We must factor this.  Factoring out 0.96, we get:

y = 0.96(x^2 - 5), which can be factored further:  

y = 0.96(x -√5)(x + √5).  This is the fully factored form of the polynomial.

What kind of variable is this: Rural, Semi-rural, Urban.
kvasek [131]

Answer: Qualititative, Nominal and Categorical

Explanation:

The variable is qualitative since it does not involve numerical data (i.e. numbers). Rather we're dealing with names or labels.

Since names or labels are involved, and there isn't really inherent order to them, we consider this qualitative data to be nominal.

We can also consider it categorical since each label is a category.
