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.

Set up a proportion.  take 3/6 = 20/x
Cross multiply 3 * x = 6 * 20
Simplify  3x = 120
Divide by 3  x = 40
So the denominator of the bottom fraction is 40

I may be wrong but if each of the four rooms required two cans, 4x2 is 8. then it says you spilt half a can, making that 8.5 cans. but, you have 1.5 cans left. 8.5+1.5= 10.
