It's pretty much simple. Since we can factor a polynomial by its zeros, lets write one of degree nine :
X(X-1)(X-2)(X-3)(X-4)(X-5)(X+1)(X+2)(X+3)= X^9-9X^8+6X^7+126X^6-231X^5-441X^4+944X^3+324X^2-720X
This polynomial is of degree 9 and has exactly 5 strictly positive zeros : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
And it has 3 negative zeros : - 1, -1, - 3
And it has 0 as a zero too.
There is also this one :
(X-1)(X-2)(X-3)(X-4)(X²+1)(X+1)(X+2)(X+3) = X^9-4X^8-13X^7+52X^6+35X^5-140X^4+13X^3-52X^2-36X+144
It has 4 positive zeros : 1, 2, 3, 4.
It has complex zeros : i and - i
3 negative zeros : - 1, - 2 , - 3
Good Luck
Answer:
<u>32.5 hours</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Total hours
6.5 x 5
<u>32.5 hours</u>
Starting price is 2.65, increased by .56
2.65+.56=3.21
Price is 3.21, decreased by .23
3.21-.23=2.98
Price is 2.98, increased by 1.02
2.98+1.02= 4
Price is 4, decreased by .48
4-.48=3.52
Now find the difference from the starting price (January) from the end price (May)
3.52-2.65=.87
<u>The difference from gas prices is $.87</u>
