How to write a polynomial in standard form
Setler79 [48]

Step-by-step explanation: Standard form is when we take a polynomial and we write it in order from the greatest degree to the smallest degree.

Let's look at an example which I provided in the image attached.

In this polynomial, I have 2 degrees, 1 degree, and 1 degree above the <em>x</em>.

This is not in the form of least to greatest so I need to write it in descending order. Our constant which in this is 27 will be last in polynomial.

So, you look at the degree of each term and then write each in term in order of degree from greatest to least (descending order).

A well mixed tank with a capacity of 1500 gals originally contains 1000 gallons of freshwater. One pipe containing 1/2 lb of sal
Illusion [34]

Answer:

400 lb of salt

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the water flows into the rank for x minutes.

There is an initial of 1000 gallons of water in the tank and water flows in through one pipe at 4 gal/min and through another pipe at 6 gal/min. In x minute, the amount of water in the tank = 1000 + 4x + 6x = 1000 + 10x

Water flows out at 5 gal/min, therefore in x minute the amount of water in the tank = 1000 + 10x - 5x = 1000 + 5x

The tank begins to overflow when it is full (has reached 1500 gallons). Therefore:

1500 = 1000 + 5x

5x = 1500 - 1000

5x = 500

x = 100 minutes.

1/2 lb salt per gallon flows into the tank at 4 gal/min and 1/3 lb of salt is flowing in at 6 gal/min, in 100 min the amount of salt that entered the tank = 4 gal/min × 100 min × 1/2 lb/gal + 6 gal/min × 100 min × 1/3 lb/gal= 400 lb

Therefore the amount of salt is in the tank when it is about to overflow = 400 lb of salt

Can this be simplified any further?<br>15x^2+-27x
maria [59]
Yes; if you look at both terms, they both have a common factor of 3x, therefore, this expression can be simplified as 3x(5x-9).
