Pick 1: 6 yellow out of 15 total marbles = 6/15 = 2/5
Pick 2: 6 yellow out of 15 total marbles = 6/15 = 2/5
Pick 1 AND Pick 2
2/5 x 2/5 = 4/25
-1-4x+7x=1x+4x
-1-4x+7x=1x+4x
-1+-4x+7x=x+4x
(-4x+7x)+(-1)=(x+4x)
3x+-1=5x
3x-1=5x
3x-1-5x=5x-5x
-2x-1=0
-2x-1+1=0+1
-2x=1
-2x/-2=1/2
x=-1/2
A polynomial is the sum of at least one term. For example, x^3+1 is a polynomial. A monomial is a polynomial with only one term, such as 2x^2.
A binomial is a polynomial with two terms, and a trinomial is one with three terms. The example you gave is a trinomial (which is also a polynomial).
Degree of a polynomial is the largest sum of variable powers in any term of the polynomial. So, for example, x^2 y has degree 3, and x^3+x^2 also has degree 3. A sixth degree polynomial would be x^6-2x+1, for example.
I think it is 9 1/2 feet.
