Apolynomial function has a root of –3 with multiplicity 2, a root of 0 with multiplicity 1, a root of 1 with multiplicity 1, and a root of 3 with multiplicity 2. if the function has a positive leading coefficient and is of even degree, which could be the graph of the function?

The first graph picture

Step-by-step explanation:

A polynomials is an equation with many terms whose leading term is the highest exponent known as degree. The degree or exponent tells how many roots exist. These roots are the x-intercepts.

This polynomial has roots -3, 0, 1, and 3. This means the graph must touch or cross through the x-axis at these x-values. What determines if it crosses the x-axis or the simple touch it and bounce back? The even or odd multiplicity - how many times the root occurs.

In this polynomial:

Root -3 has even multiplicity of 2 so it only touches and does not cross through.

Root 0 has odd multiplicity of 1 so crosses through.

Root 1 has odd multiplicity of 1 so crosses through.

Root 3 has even multiplicity of 3 so it only touches and does not cross through.

Knowing this, only the first and second graphs are possible answers.

Lastly, what determines the facing of the graph (up or down) is the leading coefficient. If positive, the graph ends point up. If negative, the graph ends point down. All even degree graphs will have this shape.

Only graph 1 matches the features of this polynomial.

answer set (b) 0.5, 3/4 80% is in order from least to greatest.  

step-by-step explanation:

in order to compare rational numbers to each other, it is much easier if they are in the same form.   typically, the best form in which to evaluate rational numbers is in decimals.   in order to convert a percent to a decimal, you would divide the given percentage by 100.   you can also accomplish the conversion by moving the decimal point over two places to the left.   for example, the decimal value of 80% is 80/100, or 0.8.   in order to convert a fraction to a decimal, you need to divide the numerator by the denominator.   for example, 3/4 is 0.75.   so, for choice (b) 0.5 3/4 (0.75), 80% (0.8) is the only choice in which the numbers are in order from least to greatest.
