Answer:
Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
Yes, even tho' it has only one non-zero term. x is a positive integer power of x, which is a requirement for polynomials.
The stalactites become 0.004 + 0.006 = 0.01 inches closer each year, and begin 10 feet apart, or 120 inches apart.
let y be the distance between them, and x be the number of years that go by:
y = -0.01x + 120
We want to find where y = 0, where they meet:
0 = -0.01x + 120 Add 0.01x to both sides
0.01x = 120 Multiply both sides by 100
x = 12,000
The stalagmite and stalactite will meet in 12,000 years

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define Systems</u>
-x + 4y = -8
-5x - 4y = -16
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
<em>Elimination</em>
- Combine equations: -6x = -24
- Isolate <em>x</em>: x = 4
<u>Step 3: Solve for </u><em><u>y</u></em>
- Define equation: -x + 4y = -8
- Substitute in <em>x</em>: -4 + 4y = -8
- Isolate <em>y</em> term: 4y = -4
- Isolate <em>y</em>: y = -1
