Please help i don't understand!
1 answer:
Answer: 9. x=-3/2 10. x=2
x= 5/2 x=5/3
Step-by-step explanation:
9. Factor the equation:
How: put 4x^2 in the bottom left box and -15 in the upper right box.
then multiply 4x^2 x -15 = -60x^2 and put your answer in the top center box of the diamond.
Put the -4x from the equation in the bottom box. Then list out factors that multiply to the top box (-60x^2) and add to the bottom box (-4x) The two factors are -10 and 6
-10 x 6 = -60
-10 + 6 = -4
Put -12x and -5x in the remaining white boxes and find what numbers multiply to each.
I attached a picture. The colored dots correspond with each other.
Eg: Orange dot x orange dot = number in white square
Now you get the two factors (2x+3)(2x-5)
Set both of these equal to 0 and solve
0=2x+3 0=2x-5
x= -3/2 x= 5/2
Do the same for the other problem

Answer:
What is the degree of polynomial?
The degree of a polynomial is the highest of the degrees of the polynomial's monomials with non-zero coefficients.
Example:
4x The Degree is 1 (a variable without an
exponent actually has an exponent of 1)
More Examples:
4x^ − x + 3 The Degree is 3 (largest exponent of x)
x^2 + 2x^5 − x The Degree is 5 (largest exponent of x)
z^2 − z + 3 The Degree is 2 (largest exponent of z)
A constant polynomials (P(x) = c) has no variables. Since there is no exponent to a variable, therefore the degree is 0.
3 is a polynomial of degree 0.
