Answer:
2 is the answer that I would give. The question says <u>distinct</u> solutions does this graph have.
Step-by-step explanation:
You are asked only how many times this crosses the x axis. You are not asked for an exact value. So the thing to do is graph the polynomial.
y = x^3 - 3x^2 + 4
The graph says that x = -1 with a multiplicity of 1
It also says that x=2 is a solution with a multiplicity of 2 (meaning there are 2 roots are the same).
So this polynomial factors into y = (x + 1)(x - 2)(x - 2)
Answer:
Solution : Third Option
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step here is to make all the signs uniform. As you can see the third inequality has a less than sign, which we can change to a greater than sign by dividing negative one on either side, making the inequality y > - 7.
Now take a look at the third option. Of course the y - coordinate, 3, is greater than - 7, so it meets the third requirement ( y > - 7 ). At the same time 3 > 1( 2 ) > 2, and hence it meets the second requirement as well. 3 > - 3( 1 ) + 4 > - 3 + 4 > 1, meeting the first requirement.
Therefore, the third option is a solution to the system.
