The degree of a polynomial function helps us to determine the number of
x -intercepts and the number of turning points. A polynomial function of
degree is the product of
factors, so it will have at most
roots or zeros, or
x -intercepts. The graph of the polynomial function of degree
must have at most
turning points. This means the graph has at most one fewer turning point than the degree of the polynomial or one fewer than the number of factors.
A
continuous function has no breaks in its graph: the graph can be drawn without lifting the pen from the paper. A
smooth curve is a graph that has no sharp corners. The turning points of a smooth graph must always occur at rounded curves. The graphs of polynomial functions are both continuous and smooth.
Intercepts and turning points of polynomials
A polynomial of degree
will have, at most,
x -intercepts and
turning points.
Determining the number of intercepts and turning points of a polynomial
Without graphing the function, determine the local behavior of the function by finding the maximum number of
x -intercepts and turning points for
The polynomial has a degree of
so there are at most 10
x -intercepts and at most 9 turning points.
Drawing conclusions about a polynomial function from the graph
What can we conclude about the polynomial represented by the graph shown in
[link] based on its intercepts and turning points?
The end behavior of the graph tells us this is the graph of an even-degree polynomial. See
[link] .
The graph has 2
x -intercepts, suggesting a degree of 2 or greater, and 3 turning points, suggesting a degree of 4 or greater. Based on this, it would be reasonable to conclude that the degree is even and at least 4.
What can we conclude about the polynomial represented by the graph shown in
[link] based on its intercepts and turning points?
The end behavior indicates an odd-degree polynomial function; there are 3
intercepts and 2 turning points, so the degree is odd and at least 3. Because of the end behavior, we know that the lead coefficient must be negative.
Bacteria doesn't produce energy they are dependent upon their substrate in case of lack of nutrients they are able to make spores which helps them to sustain in harsh environments
_Adnan
But not all bacteria make spores, l mean Eukaryotic cells have Mitochondria which acts as powerhouse for them, since bacteria don't have it, what is the substitution for it?
Assimilatory nitrate reduction is a process that occurs in some microorganisms, such as bacteria and archaea, in which nitrate (NO3-) is reduced to nitrite (NO2-), and then further reduced to ammonia (NH3).
Elkana
This process is called assimilatory nitrate reduction because the nitrogen that is produced is incorporated in the cells of microorganisms where it can be used in the synthesis of amino acids and other nitrogen products
There are nothing like emergency disease but there are some common medical emergency which can occur simultaneously like Bleeding,heart attack,Breathing difficulties,severe pain heart stock.Hope you will get my point .Have a nice day ❣️

define infection ,prevention and control
Innocent
I think infection prevention and control is the avoidance of all things we do that gives out break of infections and promotion of health practices that promote life
