first off, let's notice the graph touches the x-axis at -1 and 3, namely, those are the zeros/solutions/roots of the polynomial and therefore, the factors come from those points.
now, at -1, the graph doesn't cross the x-axis, instead it <u>simply bounces off</u> of it, that means the zero of x = -1, has an even multiplicity, could be 4 or 2 or 6, but let's go with 2.
at x = 3, the graph does cross the x-axis, meaning it has an odd multiplicity, could be 3 or 1, or 7 or 9, but let's use 1.

Step-by-step explanation:
2a -5a +8a.
2a +8a -5a
10a -5a = 5a
14-7=7
<em>Answer=5a+7</em>
1025ft above Sea Level is John
25ft below Sea Level is his Brother
1025ft + 25ft = 1050ft
Thats the difference in altitude
It does. Because 6+(-1) equals 5 and so does 19-14
Answer:
it has decreased the most in-between day 11 and day 6 because the graph has a little bit of a steeper drop. So there is less snow those days.
