Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
zeroes are when you plug in that x value and get y=0
therefore if you set x = that number and solve for 0 you get a "function"
multiplying these together will yield the complete 3rd degree polynomial
x = 1
x-1=0
x=7
x-7=0
x=-4
x+4=0

If needed you could expand but I'm too lazy
Answer: The answers for both (a) and (b) is YES.
Step-by-step explanation: A polynomial is an algebraic expression containing two or more algebraic terms, i.e., the sum of several terms that contain different powers of the same variable or variables with real coefficients.
For example, p(x) = 4x²+x+2 is a polynomial in variable 'x'.
(a) Yes, the sum of two polynomials is again a polynomial. For example,
if p(x) = ax² + bx + c and q(x) = dx² + ex + f, where, a, b, c, d, e and f are real numbers, then their sum will be
p(x) + q(x) = (a+d)x²+(b+e)x+(c+f), which is again a polynomial in 'x' with real coefficients.
(b) Yes, the difference of two polynomials is again a polynomial. For example,
p(x) - q(x) = (a-d)x²+(b-e)x+(c-f), which is again a polynomial in 'x' with real coefficients.
Thus, the answer is YES.
Answer:
480 ...12%9 of 8000 ÷2...
X= # students who got lower grades
2x+3= # students with grade A
STEP 1:
Add the two sets above equal to 24.
x + (2x + 3)= 24
combine like terms
3x + 3= 24
subtract 3 from both sides
3x= 21
divide both sides by 3
x= 7 (# students lower than A)
STEP 2:
substitute x value from step 1 to find # grade A students
=2x + 3
=2(7) + 3
=14 + 3
=17 (# grade A students)
CHECK:
x + (2x + 3)= 24
7 + 2(7) + 3= 24
7 + 14 + 3= 24
24= 24
ANSWER: There were 17 students with grade A.
Hope this helps! :)
