The equation shows the number of bags of rice on the shelf over time. The graph shows the number of cans of soup on the shelf over time. Bags of Rice Cans of Soup y = 12x + 20 Number of Cans Which item was restocked at a faster rate, and what is that rate? Let x represent th total number of bags or cans. Number or minutes Which item was restocked at a faster rate, and what is that rate? Let x represent the number of minutes and y represent the total number of bags or cans. A. cans of soup, with a rate of 10 cans per minute O
B. cans of soup, with a rate of 15 cans per minute
C. bags of rice, with a rate of 12 bags per minute
D. bags of rice, with a rate of 20 bags per minute​

answer: the distance

step-by-step explanation:

to calculate the distance d of a line segment with endpoints (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) use the formula d (x2 x1)2 (y2 y1)2. to calculate the midpoint of a line segment with endpoints (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) use the formula

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!
