The linear function f(x) = 0.5x + 80 represents the average test score in your math class, where x is the number of the test taken. The linear function g(x) represents the average test score in your science class, where x is the number of the test taken.

x g(x)
1 81
2 83
3 85

Part A: Determine the test average for your math class after completing test 2.

Part B: Determine the test average for your science class after the completing test 2.

Part C: Which class had a higher average after completing test 4? Show work to support your answer.

DO, -2(x, y) (3, 5). The point (x, y) is A) (1, 3) B) (-3/2, -5/2) C) (-6, -10)

Step-by-step explanation:

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

eventually after a few more steps, your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x

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!
