Which number is larger? Justify your answer -4.03 or -4.3
1 answer:
The larger number will be -4.03
For negative numbers, I like to sort of think backwards as I would when looking at positive numbers. For example:
+4.3 > +4.03
But when it is negative it will be the opposite!
-4.3 < -4.03
The “larger” the negative may seem, the smaller it actually is! Think of it on a number line!
Hoped this helps you out! Have a good day!

I'm assuming you're referring to problem 6. You are asked to find the number of x intercepts or roots, which is another term for "zero". I prefer the term root or x intercept as "zero" seems misleading. Anyways, all we do is count the number of times the graph crosses the x axis. This happens 4 times as shown in the attached image below. I have marked these points in red. The graph can directly cross over the x axis, or it can touch the x axis and then bounce back. Either way, it is considered an x intercept.
<h3>Answer: there are 4 x intercepts (or 4 roots)</h3>
