Jeremy is on the planning committee for the rock climbing club. He is putting together a trip where members can go outdoor rock climbing. He is trying to determine how high the group should climb and how long the trip should last. He calls multiple parks in the area that offer rock climbing and collects data on the height of the rock formations and the average time it takes people to reach the top and come back down. The data he found is shown. Time to Climb (min)

Part A: use the graphing tool to determine the line of best fit for the scatter plot.

pretty sure 750 each month!

step-by-step explanation:

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!
