C. Because you have to look for the greatest number. Disregard whether it is negative or positive. Since you are looking for steepness. That does not matter.
2/4=1/2 two is 2 times greater than one so what is two times greater that 64?
64x2=128
Answer: p(x) = a (x-b)(x-c)(x-d)
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step is to determine the degree of the polynomial.
It shall depend totally on the linear factors given for the polynomial.
If there is one, it is a linear polynomial.
If there are 2, then it is a quadratic polynomial.
If there are three then it shall be a cubic polynomial.
Now let us assume that there are three linear factors.
We multiply those factors and write the polynomial.
If x-b, x-c & x-d are the factors we write
p(x) = (x-b)(x-c)(x-d)
But as we may have a leading coefficient so we write the polynomial as
Then we go on to expand this to get the polynomial in the standard form.
Linear because y= 1 - x makes a straight line
