The change in the water vapors is modeled by the polynomial function c(x). In order to find the x-intercepts of a polynomial we set it equal to zero and solve for the values of x. The resulting values of x are the x-intercepts of the polynomial.
Once we have the x-intercepts we know the points where the graph crosses the x-axes. From the degree of the polynomial we can visualize the end behavior of the graph and using the values of maxima and minima a rough sketch can be plotted.
Let the polynomial function be c(x) = x
² -7x + 10
To find the x-intercepts we set the polynomial equal to zero and solve for x as shown below:
x
² -7x + 10 = 0
Factorizing the middle term, we get:
x
² - 2x - 5x + 10 = 0
x(x - 2) - 5(x - 2) =0
(x - 2)(x - 5)=0
x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x=2
x - 5 = 0 ⇒ x=5
Thus the x-intercept of our polynomial are 2 and 5. Since the polynomial is of degree 2 and has positive leading coefficient, its shape will be a parabola opening in upward direction. The graph will have a minimum point but no maximum if the domain is not specified. The minimum points occurs at the midpoint of the two x-intercepts. So the minimum point will occur at x=3.5. Using x=3.5 the value of the minimum point can be found. Using all this data a rough sketch of the polynomial can be constructed. The figure attached below shows the graph of our polynomial.
Answer:
It would be C
Step-by-step explanation:
This triangle has two equal sides and one side that is not equal to the other two, so it is an isosceles triangle.

Answer:
c. 1150 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the two side lengths is half the perimeter, so is 125/2 = 62.5 units. The long side is 4/5 of that, so is 50 units.
The area is the product of the long side and the height to the long side:
A = bh
A = (50 units)(23 units) = 1150 units²
__
<em>Additional comment</em>
This geometry is impossible, because the height from the long side cannot be more than the length of the short side. Here, the short side is 12.5 units, so it is not possible for the height to be 23 units.
If the height is measured from the short side, then the area is 287.5 square units.
Answer:D
Step-by-step explanation:
1,600 vases must be produced and sold to break even.
x($28-$11)=$27,200
Simplify to 17x=27,200
Divide 17x by 17 so it cancels out.
What you do to one side of the equation you have to do to the other.
27,200/17=1,600
x=1,600
