Describe how to determine the end behavior of polynomials using the leading coefficient (L. C.) and the degree of the polynomial (odd or even). Use examples.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sign of the leading coefficient tells the sign of the infinity as the independent variable gets large.

The degree tells whether the left and right end behaviors are the same or opposites. They are the same if the degree is even.

There are four possibilities:

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
