On a graph, going down or left is a decrease, while going up or right is an increase.
From the origin point, going down 15.5 units would result in negative 15.5 (-15.5).
Think about if you have 4 apples. If you add 2 more, that would an increase and would be represented by a positive number, for positive rate of change. But if you then take away 3 apples, then your amount of apples would go down, it would decrease. And this decrease is represented for a negative number, for a negative rate of change.

So the answer is negative.

5. Given (x + 1) and (x-3) are factors of P(x) = x4-5x³-7x² + cx + d. Determine the values
Iteru [2.4K]

By concepts of polynomials and systems of linear equations, the constants c and d of the expression p(x) = x⁴ - 5 · x³ - 7 · x² + c · x + d are 29 and 30.

<h3>How to determine the missing coefficients of a quartic equation</h3>

A value x is a root of a polynomial if and only if p(x) = 0. We must replace the given equation with the given roots and solve the resulting system of <em>linear</em> equations:

(- 1)⁴ - 5 · (- 1)³ - 7 · (- 1)² + (- 1) · c + d = 0    

- c + d = 1      (1)

3⁴ - 5 · 3³ - 7 · 3² + 3 · c + d = 0    

3 · c + d = 117       (2)

The solution of this system is c = 29 and d = 30.

By concepts of polynomials and systems of linear equations, the constants c and d of the expression p(x) = x⁴ - 5 · x³ - 7 · x² + c · x + d are 29 and 30.
