<h3>Answer: C) 6</h3>

Explanation:

The function is somewhat sinusoidal but not entirely. Its composed of piecewise line segments when we should have a single continuous smooth curve; however, it's still periodic since it repeats itself.

Let's start at the top at the left most corner. This point has x coordinate of x = 1.

The other endpoint of this top left flat portion is when x = 2. Then the function curve goes downhill until it reaches x = 4. From x = 4 to x = 5, we're at the flat bottom part. From x = 5 to x = 7 is when the function increases.

Once we get to x = 7, the process described earlier starts all over again. So this is when the cycle ends and the length of the period is 7-1 = 6 units. The function repeats itself every 6 units, or you can say the length of each cycle is 6 time units (eg: 6 seconds).

Find the zeros of (x^2+4) (x-3)

Mila [183]

A multiplication is zero if and only if at least one of the factors is zero. So, in this case, the multipications equals zero when

$x^2+4 = 0 \quad \lor \quad x-3=0$

The first equation has no real solutions, because $x^2$ is a square, and thus it's positive. If you add 4 to a positive number, the result can't be zero.

The second equation has the solution

$x-3=0 \iff x=3$

So, globally, the expression equals zero if and only if $x=3$

What does communitive property mean

madreJ [45]

What you meant was the "commutative" property.

So we can say that when adding:

<em>"<u>Commutative</u> means that the order does not make any difference in the result."</em>

Example:

5 + 6 = 6 + 5

a + b = b + a

The commutative property does not hold for subtraction.

Example:

4 - 1 ≠ 1 - 4

a - b ≠ b - a

Ok, now does the commutative property hold true for multiplication?

2 x 3 = 3 x 2

2 x 3 x 4 = 4 x 3 x 2

Yes.

What about division?

12 ÷ 4 ≠ 4 ÷ 12

The commutative property does not hold for division.
