What is the slope of the line that contains these points?x 15,17,19,21 y -10,2,14,26

Answer:

1. a = -31/9

2. -3/4

3. Different degree polynomials

4. Yes, of a degree 2n

5. a. Even-degree variables

b. Odd- degree variables

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Suppose f(x) = x^4-2x^3+ax^2+x+3. If f(3) = 2, then what is a?

Plugging in 3 for x:

f(3)= 3^4 - 2*3^3 + a*3^2 + 3 + 3= 81 - 54 + 6 + 9a = 33 + 9a and f(3)= 2

• 9a+33= 2
• 9a= -31
• a = -31/9

------------

2. Let f, g, and h be polynomials such that h(x) = f(x) * g(x). If the constant term of f(x) is -4 and the constant term of h(x) is 3, what is g(0)?

• f(0)= -4, h(0)= 3, g(0) = ?
• h(x)= f(x)*g(x)
• g(x)= h(x)/f(x)
• g(0) = h(0)/f(0) = 3/-4= -3/4
• g(0)= -3/4

------------

3. Suppose the polynomials f and g are both monic polynomials. If the sum f(x) + g(x) is also monic, what can we deduce about the degrees of f and g?

• A monic polynomial is a single-variable polynomial in which the leading coefficient is equal to 1.

If the sum of monic polynomials f(x) + g(x) is also monic, then f(x) and g(x) are of different degree and their sum only change the one with the lower degree, leaving the higher degree variable unchanged.

------------

4. If f(x) is a polynomial, is f(x^2) also a polynomial?

• If f(x) is a polynomial of degree n, then f(x^2) is a polynomial of degree 2n

------------

5. Consider the polynomial function g(x) = x^4-3x^2+9

a. What must be true of a polynomial function f(x) if f(x) and f(-x) are the same polynomial?

• If f(x) and f(-x) are same polynomials, then they have even-degree variables.

b.What must be true of a polynomial function f(x) if f(x) and -f(-x) are the same polynomial?

• If f(x) and -f(-x) are the same polynomials, then they have odd-degree variables.

Answer:

(D)5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the point J(-3,1) and K(8,11).

The line segment that divides the segment from J to K in any given ratio can be determined using the formula.

In the given case:

, m:n=2:3

Since we are to determine the y-coordinate of the point that divides JK into a ratio of 2:3, we have:

The y-coordinate of the point that divides the directed  line segment from J to K into a ratio of 2:3 is 5.

The correct option is D.

Answer:

The answer is actually C(5) not D

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

1.

a burger costs $5

an order of fries costs $3

2.

7 pennies

14 nickels

23 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

x = price of a burger

y = price of a order of fries

5x + 3y = 34

4x + 4y = 32

=>

x + y = 8

x = 8-y

5×(8-y) + 3y = 34

40 - 5y + 3y = 34

-2y = -6

y = $3

x = 8 - 3 = $5

x = number of pennies

y = number of nickels

z = number of dimes

0.01×x + 0.05×y + 0.1×z = 3.07

y = 2x

x + y + z = 44

x + 2x + z = 44

3x + z = 44

z = 44 - 3x

0.01×x + 0.05×2x + 0.1×z = 3.07

0.11×x + 0.1×z = 3.07

0.11×x + 0.1×(44-3x) = 3.07

11x + 10×(44-3x) = 307

11x + 440 - 30x = 307

-19x = -133

x = 7

y = 2×7 = 14

z = 44 - 3×7 = 44 - 21 = 23
