One along the X-axis and one along the y- axis
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
check the attached document for answer
This is relatively easy because that 25 is a perfect square, whose (square) roots are 5 and -5. x^2-10x+25 = (x - 5)(x - 5). Note how (-5)(-5) = +25, and how -5x - 5x = -10x.
The roots are { (x-5), (x-5) }.
The polynomial with 4 turning points has the degree of 4+1 = 5. Whatever number of turning points there are, add 1 and you get the degree.
The degree of the polynomial with one root or zero is 1
When you multiply polynomials, the degrees will add so 5+1 = 6 is the minimum degree of the new polynomial.
The final answer is 6.
