Answer:</h2>
<em><u>(a) Is it an output from the system? </u></em>
<em><u>(d) Is it a synonym of an existing thing?</u></em>
<h2>
Step-by-step explanation:</h2>
In the question,
We have a list of nouns and we need to determine whether a particular noun should be excluded by identifying particular noun as an important 'thing'.
So, to identify it as a noun we can ask two questions which will distinguish between the same.
<u>(a) Is it an output from the system? </u>
It is one of the questions that can be asked because if the thing is an output from a system it will be definitely existing in real therefore, we can identify from this.
<u>(d) Is it a synonym of an existing thing?</u>
By asking this we can also confirm whether a particular thing is a noun or not because if the thing will be a synonym for an already existing material, it definitely will be a Noun.
<em><u>Therefore, the correct option is (a) and (d).</u></em>
The second one is correct
Answer:
(d) f(x) = (x − 3)^2(x − 2)(x − 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
In this context, a crossing of the axis at x=p means there is a factor of (x-p). A "touch" of the axis at x=q means there is a factor of (x -q)^2.
A crossing at x=1 and x=2, and a touch at x=3 means the factors are ...
f(x) = (x -1)(x -2)(x -3)^2 . . . . . matches the last choice
