The degree of a polynomial is the highest number as an exponent in a term, for example, 5x^3+5x^2, 3 is the degree. To find it, you need to either just find the highest number or add up multiple degrees in one term. An example of this is 5x^3y^3+4x^3y^2. Since 3+3=6 and 3+2=5, the first term has the highest degree.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 + 3x - 9 =0
By comparing with the equation ax^2+bx+c = 0,
we get,
a = 1, b=3, c = -9
we know the formula for x is,
x = (-b±√(b^2 - 4ac))/2a
x = (-3±√45)/2
x = (-3±3√5)/2
x = (-3+3√5)/2, (-3-3√5)/2
1/2 x 6 = 3
3 x 8 = 24
24/6 = 4
4 - 1 = 3
3 is your answer

Let's assign a variable that is the number when multiplied by 10% it is equal to 0.1.
Well let that be x.
Now we want to convert the 10% into a decimal. To convert a percent into a decimal, simply move the % sign two places to the left and make it into a decimal point.
When we say "of" in mathematics what we really mean is to multiply.
0.10 * x = 0.1
That is the equation we need to find the value of x for.
Divide both sides by 0.10
0.10 * x = 0.1
The 0.10 on the left side cancels out.
x = 1
So, the answer to this question is if we multiply 10% by 1 we will get 0.1.
It would be .43, rounded. You get this answer by taking all of the 10th graders (14) and looking at how many prefer sporting events (6). Then, you simply form a decimal from 6/14, and that comes out to .428, and .43 rounded up. I hope this helps! :)
