The graph below models the value of a $20,000 car, t years after it was purchased. Which statement best describes why the value of the car is a function of the number of years since it was purchased?
Each car value, y, is associated with exactly one time, t.
Each time, t, is associated with exactly one car value, y.
The rate at which the car decreases in value is not constant.
There is no time, t, at which the value of the car is 0.

answer: a and c are correct

step-by-step explanation:

the +5 is the vertical translation

the added negative symbol in front is the reflection over the y-axis

idk lol xd

step-by-step explanation:

ez do it yourself lazy

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!
