What is a possible equation of a polynomial function that has degree 5 but whose graph has exactly three horizontal intercepts and crosses the c-axis at all three intercepts? Explain why it is not possible to have a polynomial function that has degree 4 with this property.

If the slope of one line equals the slope of another line then ? a) the two lines are intersecting lines b) the two lines are perpendicular lines c) the two lines are parallel lines d) the two lines always have very steep slopes

The magnitude, m, of an earthquake is defined to be m=log l/s, where i is the intensity of the earthquake (measured by the amplitude of the seismograph wave) and s is the intensity of a “standard” earthquake, which is barely detectable. what is the magnitude of an earthquake that is 1,000 times more intense than a standard earthquake? use a calculator. round your answer to the nearest tenth.
