The degree of the polynomial f(x) = 2x(x - 3)³(x + 1)(4x - 2) is 6, and the dominant term is - 216x²

<h3>The degree of the polynomial?</h3>

The polynomial function is given as:

f(x) = 2x(x - 3)³(x + 1)(4x - 2)

To determine the degree, we simply add the multiplicities.

So, we have:

Degree = 1 + 3 + 1 + 1

Evaluate

Degree = 6

Hence, the degree of the polynomial is 6

<h3>The dominant term of the polynomial</h3>

We have:

f(x) = 2x(x - 3)³(x + 1)(4x - 2)

Expand

f(x) = 8x⁶ - 68x⁵ + 176x⁴ - 72x³ - 216x² + 108x

The term with the highest absolute value is - 216x²

Hence, the dominant term is - 216x²

To solve this problem, we must divide the number of movies that Jenny thought were very good by the total number of movies she watched. This is because we are finding a percentage, which represents a part out of a whole that have a factor, which in this case is very good movies. First, we begin by dividing 44/55. Then, we realize that both the numerator and the denominator are divisible by 11, so if we divided them both by 11 that would simplify the fraction.

44/55 = 44/11 / 55/11 = 4/5

Next, we can now easily divide our simplified fraction.

4/5 = 0.8

Finally, we must multiply by 100, because a percentage is a portion of 100 (the total is 100%). This is equivalent to moving the decimal point two places to the right.

0.8 * 100 = 80%

Therefore, Jenny thinks that 80% of the movies she watched this year were very good.

Hope this helps!
