It is called the displacement, since it is the shortest path between two given points.

Based on its degree, what kind of polynomial is this <br><br> h(x)= -6x^3+2x-5

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

cubic polynomial

Step-by-step explanation:

Given polynomial is $h(x)=-6x^{3}+2x-5$

A polynomial of degree 1 is a linear polynomial.

A polynomial of degree 2 is a quadratic polynomial.

A polynomial of degree 3 is a cubic polynomial.

In this case the exponent with the maximum value in the polynomial is 3.

Hence the degree of the polynomial h(x) is 3.

Hence the given polynomial is a cubic polynomial.

I don’t understand the question and I can’t find anything in my notes to help

lara [203]

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem states that you have a linear function so expect your equation to have this form:

y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. You are also given two points: P1(5, 6) and P2(14, 60). Use these points to solve for the slope m.

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = (60 - 6)/(14 - 5)

= 54/9 = 6

So our equation now becomes

y = 6m + b

To solve for b, plug in the values of P1:

6 = 6(5) + b ---> b = -24

Therefore, our equation is

y = 6m - 24

The rest of the points are

(8, 24)

(11, 42)

Emails arrive at the server of a company at the rate of an average of 10 per hour. It is assumed that a Poisson process is a goo

fomenos

Answer:

0.37

Step-by-step explanation:

we have given that emails arrives at the server at the rate of 10 per hour means $\frac{10}{60}=0.166$ per minute

we have to find the probability that the time difference between the two email is more than 2 minute

so probability $P\left ( X> 2 \right )=e^{-2\lambda }=e^{-2\times 0.166}=0.7166$

What’s the answer to this?

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

answer c

Step-by-step explanation:

the two x-intercepts are (-4,0) and (2,0) so the factors of the equation are (x-2) and (x+4). if you multiply the factors it gives you the equation of the graph whic is x^2+2x-8 so c= -8 and b= 2
