Desmos graphing calculator will draw this graph for you.

draw 2 curves

y = x^4 + x^3
and
y = 4x^2 + 4x

The roots are the points where the 2 curves intersect.

You can see by simple substitution that one root is zero.

x^4 + x^3 - 4x^2 - 4x = 0

f(2) = 16 + 8 - 4(4) - 4(2) = 0 so 2 is another root

f(-2) = 16 - 8 - 16 + 8 = 0 so -2 is another root

f(-1) = 1 - 1 - 4 + 4 = 0 so -1 is the other root

The answer is A

Elizabeth brought a box of donuts to share. There are two-dozen (24) donuts in the box, all identical in size, shape, and col

Wewaii [24]

This is a probability problem with two dependent events and conditional probability. Note that after the first donut is chosen, it is not replaced into the data set, so only 23 donuts remain. If we set A=selection of a lemon-filled, and B=selection of a custard-filled, then P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B|A), where P(B|A) means the probability of B happening given that A has already occurred.P(A) = 8/24 = 1/3 = 0.333333P(B|A) = 12/23 = 0.521739P(A and B) = 1/3(12/23) = 12/69 = 0.1739130435 or 17.4%

Which expression represents the number of sides in the polygon for the nth member of the pattern?

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Given a triangle (3 sides), a hexagon (6 sides) and a nonagon (9 sides).

The sides increases by 3 and the equation that represents the pattern is 3n.

Therefore, the expression that represents the number of sides in the polygon for the nth member of the pattern is 3n.

What is the length of BC in the right triangle below?

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

F. 82

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the length of BC, Pythagoras theorem will be used.

It says, Hypotenuse^2 = Perpendicular^2 + Base^2

In our case, Perpendicular = AB = 18 and Base = AC = 80

therefore,

Hypotenuse^2 = 18^2 + 80^2 = 6724

Hypotenuse = BC = $\sqrt{6724}$ = 82

The table shows the distance Randy drove on one day of her vacation

horsena [70]

Given the table showing the distance Randy drove on one day of her vacation as follows:

$\begin{tabular}
{|c|c|c|c|c|c|}
Time (h)&1&2&3&4&5\\[1ex]
Distance (mi)&55&110&165&220&275
\end{tabular}$

The rate at which she travels is given by

$rate= \frac{distance}{time} \\ \\ = \frac{55}{1} =55mi/h$

If Randy has driven for one more hour at the same rate, the number of hours she must have droven is 6 hrs and the total distance is given by

distance = 55 x 6 = 330 miles.
