THIS IS TIMED PLEASE HELP When planning road development, the road commission estimates the future population using the function represented in the table, where x is the time in years and f(x) is the total population. What is the significance of 160,000 in the function? A) the maximum population of the city B) the expected population in 5 years C) the initial population at the time of the estimation D) the amount of increase in the population in 5 years

step-by-step explanation:

use context clues to figure out the meaning of the bolded word:  

the sage gardener knew when she had to water her plants.  

question 8 options:

mint plant

wise

happy

lazy

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!
