Use complete sentences to explain how to use linear factors to determine the equation of a polynomial function.

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Degree of polynomial equation depends on the number of linear factor.

If x-a, x-b, x-c are three linear factors then multiply these factors then we get

Degree of polynomial =3

If there are one factor, then degree of polynomial is 1 and the polynomial equation is linear.

If there are two factors then, the polynomial is quadratic and degree of quadratic polynomial is 2.

If there are three linear factors then, the degree of polynomial equation is 3 and it is cubic polynomial.

10.416 meters per second

step-by-step explanation:

distance=1 00 meters

time= 9.6 seconds in decimal form or 9 3/5 as a mixed number

average speed= 100/9.6

=10.416 meters per second or 10 52/125 as a mixed number.
