April Gas
Generally equation for heating degree-days X is mathematically given by
Generally the equation for gas bill Y is mathematically represented by
The equation representing the relationship between the gas bill (Y) and heating degree-days (X) is
Answer:
a)
b)
c)
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>For the question a *</u> you need to find a polynomial of degree 3 with zeros in -3, 1 and 4.
This means that the polynomial P(x) must be zero when x = -3, x = 1 and x = 4.
Then write the polynomial in factored form.
Note that this polynomial has degree 3 and is zero at x = -3, x = 1 and x = 4.
<u>For question b, do the same procedure</u>.
Degree: 3
Zeros: -5/2, 4/5, 6.
The factors are

<u>Finally for the question c we have</u>
Degree: 5
Zeros: -3, 1, 4, -1
Multiplicity 2 in -1
