Lin divides the polynomial 2x^2-4x+1 by 4 and gets 0.5^2 - x + 0.25. Is 0.5^2 - x + 0.25 a polynomial? Explain your thinking help please

3. parallelogram

step-by-step explanation:

we turn each of our sides into direction vectors

ab=b-a=(3 - 7, 1 - 0) = (-4, 1)

bc=c-b=(1,6)

cd=d-c=(4,-1)

da=a-d=(-1,-6)

we see how the opposite sides have negated direction vectors; this is characteristic of a parallelogram.   we have congruent sides ab=cd and bc=da with unequal lengths because 1^2+6^2 is different from (-4)^2+1^2.   so it's not a square or a rhombus.  

we check the dot product of direction vectors of adjacent sides.   we have

ab dot bc = -4(1) + 1(6) = 2

that's not zero so the sides are not perpendicular.   we've ruled out rectangle.

the direction vectors indicate two pairs of congruent parallel sides, so we choose parallelogram over trapezoid.

the one that has a slope of 1/2 and is positive.

noncoplanar points are points that do not lie on the same line.
