the change in water vapor in a cloud is modeled by a polynomial function, c (x). describe how to find the x - intercepts of c (x

) and how to construct a rough graph of c (x) so that that the meteorologist can predict when there will be no change in water vapor. you may create a sample polynomial to be used in your explanation.

The change in the water vapors is modeled by the polynomial function c(x). In order to find the x-intercepts of a polynomial we set it equal to zero and solve for the values of x. The resulting values of x are the x-intercepts of the polynomial.

Once we have the x-intercepts we know the points where the graph crosses the x-axes. From the degree of the polynomial we can visualize the end behavior of the graph and using the values of maxima and minima a rough sketch can be plotted.

Let the polynomial function be c(x) = x ² -7x + 10

To find the x-intercepts we set the polynomial equal to zero and solve for x as shown below:

x ² -7x + 10 = 0

Factorizing the middle term, we get:

x ² - 2x - 5x + 10 = 0

x(x - 2) - 5(x - 2) =0

(x - 2)(x - 5)=0

x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x=2

x - 5 = 0 ⇒ x=5

Thus the x-intercept of our polynomial are 2 and 5. Since the polynomial is of degree 2 and has positive leading coefficient, its shape will be a parabola opening in upward direction. The graph will have a minimum point but no maximum if the domain is not specified. The minimum points occurs at the midpoint of the two x-intercepts. So the minimum point will occur at x=3.5. Using x=3.5 the value of the minimum point can be found. Using all this data a rough sketch of the polynomial can be constructed. The figure attached below shows the graph of our polynomial.

Let the polynomial be:
c(x) = x² - 5x + 6
The x-intercepts, 2 and 3, represent the points where there will be no water vapor in the clouds. Using the x intercepts and the vertex of the equation, we can plot a graph to see how the water vapor changes.

avanturin [10]

Answer:

21

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to determine the percentage of defects of shoes for brand A

Percentage of shoes that have defect = (5/600) x 100 = 0.83%

shoes that would have defects when 2500 shoes are manufactured = 0.83% x 2500 = 0.0083 x 2500 = 20.75

rounding off to the nearest whole number gives 21 shoes

a taxi service charges an initial fee of $5 plus $1.80 per mile. How many miles can you travel for $12
user100 [1]
First you need to write an equation or an inequality.

5+1.80x<=12 
the x here is how many miles you are paying for, now you just solve for x. 

5+1.80x<=12
-5                 -5

1.80x<=7
/1.80         /1.80
x<=3.8

you can travel only three whole miles, you do not have enough money to go four full miles.
