Nate and Elena participate in the “Keeper for a Day” program at the zoo, where they learn about the job of a zookeeper and help with
some of the responsibilities.
1. Nate weighs and measures several
animals in the “Mouse House,” recording
the data in a table.
Part A
The computer database only allows Nate
to enter fractions. Complete the table to
show how Nate should enter the data.
Part B
Nate says that repeating decimals are rational numbers. Is Nate correct?
Explain.
Data Table:
2 feet long and 11
2 feet wide?
Explain.

answer: y=0 if that is what u r looking for

y = 3x+4

step-by-step explanation:

to find the slope

slope = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (-8-4)/ (-4-0)

    = -12/-4

  = 3

using the slope intercept form of a line

y= mx+b

we know the slope is 3

we know the y intercept is 4 ( the point where it crosses the y axis or x=0)

y = 3x+4

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!
