The answer to the statement above would be false. The value of r does not represent the reference angle when plotting a point in polar coordinates. Instead, it represents the polar distance instead of the angle. The reference angle is represented by <em>t.</em>

Answer:
x-intercepts = 1,2, and 4, y-intercept = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
x^3 - 7x^2 - 14x - 8 in factored form is equal to (x-1)(x-2)(x-4).
Solving for x-intercepts:
- We are actually able to solve for all x-intercepts without the given factor. But since we are given one of the factors, our job becomes much easier.
- Using synthetic division, or long division, we factor out the x-intercept 4. Which leaves us with the polynomial x^2 - 3x + 2.
- From here we can separate the polynomial into two binomials.
- x^2 - 3x + 2 = (x-1)(x-2). Giving us all 3 x-intercepts.
- Using Descartes' rules we can identify before even starting the problem how many real x-intercepts there are (Not needed for this problem).
Solving for y-intercept:
- The y-intercept is always the coefficient that does not have any assigned x-variables.
- The coefficient is -8, thus the y-intercept.
- If unsure of the y-intercept, you can always plug in x = 0. Solving for the y-intercept will give you the value of f(0).
- If there is no coefficient, the y-intercept is equal to zero.
Answer: the number of the parking space covered by the car is 87
Step-by-step explanation:
Numbers are assigned to each parking spot. Looking closely at the numbers assigned to each spot, the numbers are inverted and the number on each successive spot differ by one. The numbers are 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91
Therefore, the number assigned to the spot where the car would be 87
