Anything raised to exponent 0 equals 1
So

So we get


The Correct choices are :
- the dependent variable is y
- the rate of change is not constant
- independent variable is x
- This is a negative relationship
- The relationship is nonlinear
ANSWER TO QUESTION 1
.
EXPLANATION
The function given to us is,

According to rational roots theorem,
are possible rational zeros of
.
We find out that,




Also




This implies that
are factors of
and hence
is also a factor.
We perform the long division as shown in the diagram.
Hence,
.
ANSWER TO QUESTION 2
Sketching the graph
We can see from the factorization that the roots
and
have a multiplicity of 1, which is odd. This means that the graph crosses the x-axis at this intercepts.
Also the root
has a multiplicity of 2, which is even. This means the graph does not cross the x-axis at this intercept.
Now we determine the position of the graph on the following intervals,









We can now use these information to sketch the function as shown in diagram
Answer:
1 yard=3 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
so 120 yards =3 [120]=360ft
