n a rowboat by the shore. The boat is so tiny, however, that it can only hold two boys or one soldier. How can the soldiers get across the river and leave the boys in joint possession of the boat

Answer:

Steps 1 - 4 below explains it.

Step-by-step explanation:

The way that the soldiers get across the river and leave the boys in joint possession of the boat is;

1) The two 12- year - old boys will take the boat to the other side

2) Thereafter, one of the 12- year - old boys will return with the boat.

3) A soldier will now take the boat to the other side and the soldier will remain there while the other boy returns the boat.

4) Step 1 - 3 is a total of 4 trips. Thus, trip would be repeated the total of n times and the n number of soldiers would get across the river and leave the boys in joint possession of the boat after the total of 4n trips.

5. Identify the sign of the leading coefficient and describe the end behaviour. Using this

The sign of the leading coefficient can be found using the graph of a polynomial function.

<h3>What is polynomial?</h3>

Polynomial is the combination of variables and constants systematically with "n" number of power in ascending or descending order.

\rm a_1x+a_2x^2+a_3x^3+a_4x^4..........a_nx^n

We have given the graph of polynomial functions:

In the first graph:

The leading coefficient is positive.

x → ∞, f(x) → ∞

x → -∞, f(x) → -∞

Degree of a function = 3

In the second graph:

The leading coefficient is negative.

x → ∞, f(x) → -∞

x → -∞, f(x) → -∞

Degree of a function = 4

In the third graph:

The leading coefficient is positive.

x → ∞, f(x) → ∞

x → -∞, f(x) → ∞

Degree of a function = 4

In the fourth graph:

The leading coefficient is negative.

x → ∞, f(x) → -∞

x → -∞, f(x) → ∞

Degree of a function = 3

Thus, the sign of the leading coefficient can be found using the graph of a polynomial function.

4.4 + [4 • 1/4 + 8.6]
Delicious77 [7]

Answer: 4.4 + (4 x 1/4 + 8.6) = 14

Step-by-step explanation: Because starting inside the parenthesis, 4 times 1/4 = 1. Then 8.6 plus 1 = 9.6. Finally, 9.6 plus 4.4 which equals 14. :)
