3. two ocean beaches are being affected by erosion. the table shows the width, in feet, of each beach at high tide measured where 1995 is represented by year 0.
year number western beach width (in feet) dunes beach width (in feet)
0 100 25
5 90 45
10 80 70
11 78 75
12 76 80
15 70 95
a. between which years will the beaches have approximately the same width?
b. assuming these rates remain constant, what can do you get a better approximation of when the two beaches will have the same width?
just answer a and b that's it. : )

step-by-step explanation:

well if you round, things become much more simple. round 5.95 to 6, 4.25 to 4, and 1.05 to 1. now, add 6+4+1 and that would equal 11. so the items together would equal to about $11.

where are the graphs?

step-by-step explanation:

1. when "a" is a root of a polynomial, (x -a) is a factor of it. for the three roots given, the factors of the desired polynomial are (x +2)(x -1/2)(x -3).

in order to make the leading coefficient be negative, we need to multiply this product by a negative number. any negative number will do, but we choose a small (magnitude) value that will eliminate the fraction: -2.

then

f(x) = -2(x +2)(x -1/2)(x -3) = -(x +2)(2x -1)(x -3)

= -(2x² +3x -2)(x -3)

= -(2x³ -3x² -11x +6)

f(x) = -2x³ +3x² +11x -6

2. a graph created by the desmos on-line graphing calculator is shown, and the zeros are highlighted.

3. as indicated in part 1, the multiplier of this equation can be anything and the zeros will remain the same. you want a negative leading coefficient, so the "anything" is restricted to any of the infinite number of numbers that will make that be the case.
