Answer:

turning points

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of turning points is the number of real zeros in the derivative polynomial. As you know, the number of real zeros of a polynomial is at most the polynomial degree.

The degree of the derivative is always 1 less than the degree of the polynomial. So, a polynomial of degree n will have at most (n-1) turning points.

The number of right-handed students in a math class is nine times the number of left-handed students. The total number of studen

nirvana33 [79]

R - Right Handed
L - Left Handed

R = 9L ( the number of right handed kids is equal to having 9*number of left handed kids)
9L + L = 30 ( since total number of people in class is 30)
10L = 30
( Divide by 10 both sides )
L = 3

so... There are 3 Left Handed kids and 27 Right Handed kids ( since R = 9L , R = 9(3) = 27)

Hope this helped!

Kelley Katherine takes a trip to Paris. When she was standing near the 1063 foot tall Eiffel tower, she noticed that her shadow

In order to complete this, we must write it as a ratio. This would look like: 2.4:5.25=x:1063. In order to solve for x, we must first divide 5.25 by 2.4, which I will mark as y, then we take y and divide it into 1063, giving us the answer of 485.94, rounded will give you 486. x now equals 486.

Devin's DVD case has 3 rows of slots, but 5 slots are broken.If x equals the number of slots in a row explain how the expression

Paul [167]

Answer:

The total number of unbroken / working slots

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Devin's DVD case has 3 rows of slots, but 5 slots are broken

Also given that the number of slots in a row is x

1 row has x slots

3 rows has y slots

on cross multiplication we get y = 3x

ie there are a total of 3x slots in the 3 rows

Given that out of these 3x slots 5 . of the slots are broken

Therefore the total number of working slots = total number of slots - number of slots which are broken

total number of working slots are = 3x - 5

Therefore the given expression is the number of working / good slots

7x^2=9+x what are the values of x Will give medal and points

DENIUS [597]

7x² = 9 + x Subtract x from both sides
7x² - x = 9 Subtract 9 from both sides
7x² - x - 9 = 0 Use the Quadratic Formula

a = 7 , b = -1 , c = -9

x = $\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a}$ Plug in the a, b, and c values
x = $\frac{- (-1) \pm \sqrt{(-1)^2 - 4(7)(-9)} }{2(7)}$ Cancel out the double negative
x = $\frac{1 \pm \sqrt{(-1)^2 - 4(7)(-9)} }{2(7)}$ Square -1
x = $\frac{1 \pm \sqrt{1 - 4(7)(-9)} }{2(7)}$ Multiply 7 and -9
x = $\frac{1 \pm \sqrt{1 - 4(-63} }{2(7)}$ Multiply -4 and -63
x = $\frac{1 \pm \sqrt{1 + 252} }{2(7)}$ Multiply 2 and 7
x = $\frac{1 \pm \sqrt{1 + 252} }{14}$ Add 1 and 252
x = $\frac{1 \pm \sqrt{253} }{14}$ Split up the $\pm$
x = $\left \{ {{ \frac{1 + \sqrt{253} }{14} } \atop { \frac{1 - \sqrt{253} }{14} }} \right.$
The approximate square root of 253 is 15.905973.
x ≈ $\left \{ { \frac{1 + 15.905973}{14} } \atop { \frac{1 - 15.905973}{14} }} \right$ Add and subtract
x ≈ $\left \{ {{ \frac{16.905973}{14} } \atop { \frac{14.905973}{14} }} \right.$ Divide
x ≈ $\left \{ {{1.2075} \atop {1.0647}} \right.$ Round to the nearest hundredth
x ≈ $\left \{ {{1.21} \atop {1.06}} \right.$
