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.

Answer:

\textbf{The slope of the parallel line is given by $ 2 $}\\

Step-by-step explanation:

\textup{The slope of any two parallel lines are equal and they only differ in their $y- intercepts$. }\\\textup{Given $y = 2x + 4 $}\\\textup{This is  comparable to $y = mx + c$, where $m$ is the slope of that line.}\\\textup{Therefore, the slope of the given line and any line parallel to it is $ 2$.}

Answer:

The second and fourth option

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for two lines to be perpendicular they must intercept each other and their slope must be the opposite inverse; ex: \frac{-1}{4}  the negative inverse is 4 (multiplying by -1 and flipping the fraction)
