3. A group of hikers is progressing steadily
along an uphill trail. The graph shows their
elevation (or height above sea level), in
feet, at each distance from the start of the
trail, in miles
2,000

distance along trail (miles)
a. What is the slope of the graph? Show your reasoning.
b. What does the slope tell us about this situation?
c. Write an equation that represents the relationship between the hikers' distance
from the start of the trail, x, and their elevation, y:
d. Does the equation y -250x = 500 represent the same relationship between
the distance from the start of trail and the elevation? Explain your reasoning,

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! : )
