How does the multiplicity of a zero affect the graph of the polynomial function?

1 answer:

7 0

Answer:

The multiplicity of a root affects the shape of graph of a polynomial. If a root of a polynomial has odd multiplicity, the graph will cross the x-axis at the root. If a root of a polynomial has even multiplicity, the graph will touch the x-axis at the root but will not cross the x-axis

Find the area of the regular trapezoid. The figure is not drawn to scale. The top side is 4, the bottom side is 7, and both side

svp [43]

A regular trapezoid is shown in the picture attached.

We know that:
DC = minor base = 4
AB = major base = 7
AD = BC = lateral sides or legs = 5

Since the two legs have the same length, the trapezoid is isosceles and we can calculate AH by the formula:

AH = (AB - DC) ÷ 2
= (7 - 5) ÷ 2
= 2 ÷ 2
= 1

Now, we can apply the Pythagorean theorem in order to calculate DH:
DH = √(AD² - AH²)
= √(5² - 1²)
= √(25 - 1)
= √24
= 2√6

Last, we have all the information needed in order to calculate the area by the formula:

$A = \frac{(AB + CD)DH}{2}$

A = (7 + 5) × 2√6 ÷ 2
= 12√6

The area of the regular trapezoid is 12√6 square units.
