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.

Answer:

-4 < n ≤ 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the left inequality is an open circle and going to the right, the sign will be >

Since the right inequality sign is a closed circle and is going left, the sign would be ≤

The open circle ends at -4 so, n > -4

The closed circle ends at 5 so, n ≤ 5

You combine them and it looks like this:

-4 < n ≤ 5

The top of a square box has an area of 121 cm2. What is the length of one side of the box? A) 9.0 cm B) 11.0 cm C) 15.125 cm D)
tekilochka [14]
B. 11.0 cm, since the area of a square is x^2. 11.0 x 11.0 is 121. So that means one of the sides is 11.0

Answer:

130 crates

Step-by-step explanation:

270,000/90=3000/23

3000/23=130.43

rounded: 130 crates

Please select all the correct choices​

The correct choices based on the Segment Addition Postulate are <u>C. WX + XY + YZ = WZ</u> and <u>E. WY + YZ = WZ</u>.

<h3>What is a segment addition postulate?</h3>

A segment addition postulate is a part of a segment line that consists of two endpoints and all of the points between them.

For example, the segment addition postulate of line segment, AC will be defined as the sum of the lengths of the segments, AB and BC being equal to the total length AC.

<h3 />

The possible addition postulates that can be created from WZ are:

WZ = WX + XY + YZ

WZ = WY + YZ

WZ = WX + XZ

Thus, the correct choices of the segment addition postulate are <u>Options C and E</u>.
