Answer:

y = x² - 13x + 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the zeros x = 4 and x = 9, then the corresponding factors are

(x - 4) and (x - 9)

The polynomial is then the product of the factors

y = (x - 4)(x - 9) ← expand using FOIL

y = x² - 13x + 36

Answer: 120

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Since the order of the numbers doesn't matter we can use the formula:

$\dfrac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}\quad \text{where n is the quantity of items and r is the quantity chosen}\\\\\text{In this problem, there are 10 numbers (n = 10) and 7 to be chosen (r = 7)}\\\\_{10}C_{7}=\dfrac{10!}{7!(10-7)!}\\\\.\qquad=\dfrac{10!}{7!3!}\\\\.\qquad=\dfrac{10\times 9\times 8\times 7!}{7!\times 3\times 2\times 1}\\\\.\qquad=10\times 3\times 4\\\\.\qquad=120$
