Answer:

A least degree polynomial, having rational coefficients and a leading coefficient of 2, with,-4, 0, 2, and 4 as the zeros of the polynomial is;

f(x) = 2·x⁴ - 4·x³ - 32·x² + 64·x

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters of the polynomial are;

The leading coefficient of the polynomial = 2

The zeros of the polynomial = -4, 0, 2, 4

We note that zeros of -4, and 4 gives a factor of the form, (x² - 4²)

For a zero of the polynomial equal to 0, one of the factors of the polynomial is equal to 'x'

To have a leading coefficient of 2, we can add '2' as a factor of the polynomial

Therefore, we can have the factors of the polynomial as follows;

(x² - 4²)·2·x×(x - 2) = 0

From the above equation, using a graphing calculator, we get the following possible polynomial;

(x² - 4²)·2·x×(x - 2) = 2·x⁴ - 4·x³ - 32·x² + 64·x = 0

Therefore, a polynomial, function of least degree that has rational coefficients, a leading coefficient of 2,and the zeros, -4, 0, 2, and 4 is  f(x) = 2·x⁴ - 4·x³ - 32·x² + 64·x.

What is the slope of the line?
sineoko [7]

Answer:

3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

You can do this two different ways. Both include picking two points where the line crosses a corner. I'm using (0,-1) and (4,2). Now here you can either use

Slope=\frac{Rise}{Run}

or \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}  

If you use the first one start at point (0,-1) and go to point (4,2) and count how many it goes up (rise) and then put that over how many it goes to the right (run).

If you use the second one then plug in the numbers.

y2=second y point

y1=first y point

x2=second x point

x1=first x point

\frac{2-(-1)}{4-0}   Now just solve.

\frac{3}{4}
