Answer:
The largest possible number of x intercept is 9 while the largest possible number of relative max/min is 8
Step-by-step explanation:
For any polynomial of degree n with distinct and real solutions, it can have at most n different x intercepts. This would imply it can have at most 9 distinct real solutions.
It can also have at most n-1 relative max/min in alternating order. This is best illustrated when such polynomial is sketched on a graph.
For example a quadratic expression is a polynomial of degree 2 and has at most 2 distinct solutions and 1 relative max/min.
In this question, for the polynomial, its degree (n) = 9
So it can have at most 9 x intercepts and at most 8 relative max/min.
Carl is 2 yrs older than bob. Because Alan+Carl is 2 more than Alan+bob
So bob=16 and Carl is 18
16+18=34
And Alan is 24
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

Parallel lines have the same slope. Therefore if given line is

then the slope of our line is
.
We have the equation:

The line passes through (-1, -7). Put the coordinsted pf the point to the equation:

<em>add 2 to both sides</em>

Finally:

You would subtract 5x from y so y=5x-10
