Answer:

The largest possible number of x intercept is 9 while the largest possible number of relative max/min is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

For any polynomial of degree n with distinct and real solutions, it can have at most n different x intercepts. This would imply it can have at most 9 distinct real solutions.

It can also have at most n-1 relative max/min in alternating order. This is best illustrated when such polynomial is sketched on a graph.

For example a quadratic expression is a polynomial of degree 2 and has at most 2 distinct solutions and 1 relative max/min.

In this question, for the polynomial, its degree (n) = 9

So it can have at most 9 x intercepts and at most 8 relative max/min.

In the arithmetic sequence {13, 6,-1,-8,...}, what is the common difference?
guapka [62]
<h3>Answer:  -7</h3>

Explanation:

Pick any term. Subtract off the previous one to find the common difference.

  • term2 - term1 = 6-13 = -7
  • term3 - term2 = -1-6 = -7
  • term4 - term3 = -8-(-1) = -8+1 = -7

And so on. You only need to pick one of those to show as your steps to your teacher. However, doing all three subtractions is a good way to get practice in seeing how we have an arithmetic sequence. The common difference must be the same each time.

We subtract 7 from each term to get the next term, i.e. we add -7 to each term to get the next one.

Hymie Caddiddle is a truck driver who earns $56,000 a year driving cross-country. He is single with no dependents. He pays $2,43
BARSIC [14]
In order to solve this problem, we need to figure out what percent 2,430 is of 56,000.  We do this by dividing 2,430 by 56,000.  This is equal to 0.04339.  We multiply this by 100 to get a percent.  This is equal to 4.339%, so the tax rate is 4.339%.
