This can be solver by creating a small equation with x being the number and solving for x. The equation would be 8 + 2( x + 3 ) = -6
Solve for x:
8 + 2( x + 3 ) = -6
Distribute the 2
8+ (2x+6)=-6
Subtract 8
2x+6= -14
Add 6
2x= 8
Divide by 2
x=4
So the number you are looking for is 4
I hope this helps!
Coming from a 6th grader but I hope this is right!
Polynomials of degree greater than 2 can have more than one max or min value. The largest possible number of minimum or maximum points is one less than the degree of the polynomial. The following examples illustrate several possibilities.
since the degree is 4
number of possible extreme values = 4 -1 = 3
I think the answer is 3 and two thirds yards
