To express the polynomial d^2+d^3-d+3 in standard form, which term should be written first?
ozzi
When you want to write a polynomial, you should write the term with the highest degree first.
Here, it should go like this: d^3 + d^2 - d + 3
This means that the term which should be written first is the cubic term.

When solving an equation with an absolute value term, you make two separate equations ans solve for x:

Equation 1: |4x-3|-5 = 4

1st add 5 to both sides:

|4x-3| = 9

Remove the absolute value term and make two equations:

4x-3 = 9 and 4x - 3 = -9

Solving for x you get X = 3 and x = -1.5

When you replace x with those values in the original equation the statement is true so those are two solutions.

Do the same thing for equation 2:

|2x+3| +8 = 3

Subtract 8 from both sides:

|2x+3| = -5

Remove the absolute value term and make two equations:

2x +3 = -5

2x+3 = 5

Solving for x you get -1 and 4, but when you replace x in the original equation with those values, the statement is false, so there are no solutions.

The answer is:

C. The solutions to equation 1 are x = 3, −1.5, and equation 2 has no solution.
