Brad makes his own snack mix using whole grain cereal and mixed nuts. one batch of his recipe makes 6 cups of snack mix. brad uses 3 times as much cereal as mixed nuts. the system below can be used to find the number of cups of cereal and number of cups of mixed nuts brad uses to make one batch of snack mix. which describes the ingredients brad uses to make one batch of snack mix? 2 cups of cereal and 4 cups of mixed nuts 3 cups of cereal and 9 cups of mixed nuts 4.5 cups of cereal and 1.5 cups of mixed nuts 7.5 cups of cereal and 4.5 cups of mixed nuts

answer: b. f(x) = (x + 2)^3 (x^2 - 7x + 3)^4

step-by-step explanation:

polynomials always have as many roots as their order. this is a 4th order polynomial- hence 4 roots!

complex roots of polynomials always come in pairs. the quadratic equation has the "+/-" in that will alwaysgenerate m+ni amd m-ni, so 7-2i must be a root of this polynomial equation.

the order of the numerator and denominator are both 2. so the horizontal asymptote is y=a2/b2 =7

verticle asymptotes are the forbidden x-values. f(x) becomes undefined at x=-3 because this value will cause a zero denominator.

a graph of r(x) will have vertical asymptotes at ±1 because these values will make the denominator zero. so the domain of the function cannot include ±1.

you 're wlecome! : )
