the scatter plot shows the relationship between the number of car accidents in a month and the number of drivers attending a program on distracted driving. the equation represents the linear model for this data.

y=−0.0067x+17

what does the number 17 in the equation mean in this context?

a)there were no accidents per month when there were 17 drivers in the program.

b)the number of accidents decreases by 17 for every 100 drivers in the program.

c)for every 100 drivers in the program, there are 17 accidents per month.

d)there were 17 drivers in the program when it started.

e)there were 17 accidents per month when there were no drivers in the program.

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! : )
