Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Nonlinear, because the slope is not constant - it keeps changing.

Slope between (1,1) and (1,2) is (1/1) or 1

Slope between (2,4) and (16,3) is:

Rise = (3-4) = -1

Run = (16-2) = 14

Slope = 14/-1 or -14

Definitely not linear. The slope changes dramatically very quickly. A straight line would disapprove.

Locating Zeros of Polynomial Function: Approximate the real zeros to the nearest tenth

solmaris [256]

we are given

$f(x)=2x^4-x^3+x-2$

we can check each options

option-A:

-1,1

we can plug x=-1 and x=1 and check whethet f(x)=0

At x=-1:

$f(-1)=2(-1)^4-(-1)^3+(-1)-2$

$f(-1)=0$

At x=1:

$f(1)=2(1)^4-(1)^3+(1)-2$

$f(1)=0$

so, this is TRUE

option-B:

0,1

we can plug x=0 and x=1 and check whethet f(x)=0

At x=0:

$f(0)=2(0)^4-(0)^3+(0)-2$

$f(0)=-2$

At x=1:

$f(1)=2(1)^4-(1)^3+(1)-2$

$f(1)=0$

so, this is FALSE

option-C:

-2,-1

we can plug x=-2 and x=-1 and check whethet f(x)=0

At x=-2:

$f(-2)=2(-2)^4-(-2)^3+(-2)-2$

$f(-2)=36$

At x=-1:

$f(-1)=2(-1)^4-(-1)^3+(-1)-2$

$f(-1)=0$

so, this is FALSE

option-D:

-1,0

we can plug x=-1 and x=0 and check whethet f(x)=0

At x=-1:

$f(-1)=2(-1)^4-(-1)^3+(-1)-2$

$f(-1)=0$

At x=0:

$f(0)=2(0)^4-(0)^3+(0)-2$

$f(0)=-2$

so, this is FALSE

A supermarket had bags of grapes for $20.72 for 7. They also had bags of green grapes priced at 8.46 for 3. Which type of grapes

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

The grapes are more expensive than the green grapes.

Step-by-step explanation:

GRAPES: If you divide $20.72 by 7, to get one bag of grapes instead of seven, you get $2.96/bag.

GREEN GRAPES: If you divide $8.46 by 3, to get one bag of green grapes instead of three, you get $2.82/bag.

$2.82 is less than $2.96, therefore, the grapes are more expensive than the green grapes.
