How much time does on-site early earthquake detection usually give if a population is directly above it?
I hope some of you may be able to answer, but I was wondering how much time ON-SITE early earthquake warning systems would give ahead of time before impact if the city was above the active seismic fault?

3 AnswersMathematics2 years agoWhat is the polynomial function for finding the number of o-rings expected to fail given temperature t?
I remembered seeing it once, maybe from a book. I tried looking for it on the internet but to no avail, maybe my search terms weren't sufficient I don't know. So I was hoping that maybe some of you guys know what it is or where I could find it. We need examples of polynomial functions applied in the real world, I hope you can give me some ideas of those as well. I greatly appreciate it! Good day

2 AnswersMathematics2 years agoCan the upper bound of a polynomial be equal to the greatest real zero of a polynomial or does it have to greater than it?
TL;DR Title
My friend and I got worked up on this and unfortunately no teacher was present during the time to quench our curiosity, searching through the internet proved unfruitful.
Basically he asked me to give him a polynomial equation for an exercise and I gave him a 5th degree with mostly arbitrary coefficients.
By the Bounds of zeros theorem, finding the upper bound requires obtaining all positive coefficients when doing synthetic division, but how do we do that when the first step of synthetic division is bringing down the coefficient of the first number, which is already negative?
