Answer:
- max for 5th-degree: 4 turns. This function: 2 turns.
- max for 7th-degree: 6 turns. This function: 0 turns.
Step-by-step explanation:
In general, the graph of an n-th degree function can make n-1 turns. However, in specific cases, the number of turns is limited by the number of real zero-crossings of the derivative.

1. This 5th-degree function can have at most 4 turns. However, the derivative, f'(x) = 5x^4 -3, has only two (2) real zeros. Hence the graph of this function can only have 2 turns.
__
2. This 7th-degree function can have at most 6 turns. However, the derivative, f'(x) = -7x^6 -35x^4-12x^2, has an even-multiplicity root at x=0 only. The derivative never crosses 0. Hence the graph makes no turns.
Answer:1 is b and 2 is d

Step-by-step explanation:
The expressions are not properly written
Given
RS = 4x – 9
ST = 19
RT = 8x – 14
Based on the given parameters, the addition postulate below is true
RS+ST = RT
Substitute
4x-9+19 = 8x-14
collect like terms
4x-8x = -14-19+9
-4x = -33+9
-4x = -24
x = -24/-4
x = 6
Get RS:
RS = 4x-9
RS = 4(6)- 9
RS = 24-9
RS = 15
Get RT:
RT = 8x - 14
RT = 8(6)-14
RT = 48-14
RT = 34
