1) cf= 24 hours/1 day, 1 hour/60 minutes
30 x 1/60 = .5
10 x 24/1 = 240
240 + .5 = 240.5 hours
2) cf = 24 hours/1 day, 60 minutes/1 hour, 12 inches/1 foot
a) 0.6 x 12/1 = 7.2 inches
b) 7.2 x 1/24 = 0.3 inches per hour
The maximum number of roots to a polynomial of order n is n roots. Take the example of a quadratic (order 2) which can intersect the x-axis a maximum of 2 times, and similarly a cubic (order 3) 3 times maximum.
Hence for 8 intersections, minimum order = 8
X^2 * 5,x^4 so B is the answer
Valid because 3 x 3 is 9 :))
