g(x)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what is the most x-intercepts that f(x) can have?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

look at the largest exponent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

largest exponent = degree = maximum number of x intercepts

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

f(x) has at most 3 x-intercepts how many does g(x) have?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

count the points where the blue curve crosses the horizontal x axis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6? lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait so the answer is g(x) bc it's the highest

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

4 actually. Idk how you got 5 or 6
