A curve is described by parametric equations x = 2 - t;
y = x^2 + 1 statement the curve is a parabola with a vertex at (2,1) and is traced from left to right for increasing values of t is the best-described curve.
We use a parameter to describe equations then we are talking about Parametric Equations, that isWe can write both as functions of a parameter.
We have given the parametric equation
The parametric equation defines a group of quantities as functions of one or more independent variables called parameters.
So substituting the value of x in y we get,
So this equation represents a parabola where y is the dependent variable and t is the independent variable.
This equation is shown in the following figure, the best statement that describes the curve.
Therefore we can say that the curve is a parabola with a vertex at (2,1) and is traced from left to right for increasing values of t.

Answer: 3
Step-by-step explanation:
(x + 4i) is a root which means its conjugate (x - 4i) is also a root
(x + 4i)(x - 4i) = x² + 16
Use Long Division for 2x⁵ - 13x⁴ + 22x³ - 187x² - 160x + 336 ÷ x² + 16
2x³ - 13x² - 10x + 21
x² + 16 ) 2x⁵ - 13x⁴ + 22x³ - 187x² - 160x + 336
- (2x⁵ + 0x⁴ + 32x³) ↓ ↓ ↓
-13x⁴ - 10x³ - 187x² ↓ ↓
- (-13x⁴ +0x³ - 208x²) ↓ ↓
-10x³ + 21x² - 160x ↓
- (-10x³ + 0x² - 160x) ↓
21x² + 0x + 336
- (21x² + 0x + 336)
0
Use Synthetic Division to divide (x - 7) by the reduced polynomial (2x³ - 13x² - 10x + 21)
7 | 2 -13 -10 21
| ↓ 14 7 -21
2 1 -3 0 ← remainder is 0
Use grouping to factor the reduced polynomial (2x² + x - 3)
2x² - 2x + 3x - 3
= 2x(x - 1) +1(x - 1)
= (2x + 1)(x - 1)
The factors are: (x - 7) (2x + 1) (x - 1) (x + 4i) (x - 4i)
The first 3 are real roots and the last 2 are complex roots
The zeros of a polynomial function are the factors of the function.
The number of real zeros of f(x) is 3
The function is given as:
Two of the factors are given as:
x - 7 ad x + 4i
The factor x + 4i is a complex factor.
If a polynomial function has a complex factor, then the conjugate of the complex factor is also a factor of the polynomial.
This means that f(x) has 2 complex factors
The degree of the polynomial is 5.
So, the number (r) of real zeros is the difference between the degree of the polynomial and the number of complex factors.
This gives
Hence, the number of real zeros of f(x) is 3

b. The number is not divisible by 5.
c. The number is even or less than 12.
d. The number is neither prime nor composite.
e. The square root of the number is less than 3.
For our given sample, the only true statement is:
c. The number is even or less than 12.
The sample for the experiment is the set:
{2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}
So, we need to see which ones of the statements are true for every digit in that set.
For example:
a "The number is greater than 2."
Is false, because the outcome can be 2, as 2 belongs to the set.
The true statement is:
c. The number is even or less than 12. (all the numbers are less than 12).
