In order to pass a class, Amanda needs to have a score higher than 86 on her final. Which graph represents possible scores that Amanda could get to pass this class?

graph C

Step-by-step explanation:

Amanda needs to have a score higher than 86 on her final.

That means she can't get lower than 86 (Obviously) but not even an 86.

It has to be higher than 86 for her to pass

Let x represent Amanda's score

Bolded dots on graphs mean that she can have a 86 but if it's not a bolded dot she can have either higher or lower

Just keep that in mind

The answer will be C. because it describes Amanda's score higher than 86

the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

the root or roots of a polynomial are the values of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to 0. we can find the roots of a polynomial making the expression equal to 0 and then, isolating the variable (it it has just one variable).

for example, given the following polynomial:

the root or zero of the polynomial, can be found by making the expression equal to 0, and then, isolating the variable, so, finding the root we have:

therefore, we have that the root of the polynomial is equal to 2.

we must remember that the number of roots that a polynomial can have, will depend on the degree of the polynomial, a first degree polynomial have will have one single root, a second degree polynomial (quadratic expression) may have two roots and so.

hence the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

have a nice day!
