Hi student, let me help you out! :)

We are asked to find how many terms are in $\pmb{10y^2-3y+8}$ .

$\triangle~\fbox{\bf{KEY:}}$

A term is a thing that's added or subtracted.

So let's compute the number of terms in this expression.

The first term is $\pmb{10y^2}$ .

Is anything added or subtracted from 10y²?

Sure! $\pmb{-3y}$ is subtracted from 10y².

Also, 8 is added to -3y.

Thus, this expression has 3 terms.

Hope it helps you out! :D

Step-by-step explanation:

Apparently, you're being asked to identify the sequence of steps you would use to compute the volume of the pyramid.

It seems to be a good idea to start with the formula for the volume.

Then, recognize that you need to compute B, so make that computation. The area of the base (B) is the product of the base dimensions (14)(12).

Once you have the value of B, then you can put that, along with the value of h, into the original volume formula.

Evaluating it gives the volume in cubic units.

<em>Additional comment</em>

If you're familiar with the pyramid volume formula, you know that you must compute B before you can make use of the formula. That makes the sequence be B=14(12); B=168; V=1/3Bh; V=1/3(168)(7).

However, if you're starting from scratch, it is probably good to begin with the volume formula. That is what tells you that you need to find B in the first place. This is the sequence we show below.

One positive number is 14 less than another positive number. If the reciprocal of the smaller number is added to five times the

Kipish [7]

Let's call the two numbers $s$ and $l$ .

Given these variables, we can say: $s = l - 14$ , based on the first sentence in the problem.

Also, remember that the reciprocal of a number is simply 1 divided by the number. Thus, we can say that:

$\dfrac{1}{s} + 5\Big( \dfrac{1}{l} \Big) = \dfrac{1}{4}$

To solve, we can simply substitute $l -14$ in for $s$ in the second equation and solve.

$\dfrac{1}{l - 14} + \dfrac{5}{l} = \dfrac{1}{4}$

Set up

$\dfrac{l}{l(l - 14)} + \dfrac{5(l - 14)}{l(l - 14)} = \dfrac{1}{4}$

Get terms on the left side to a common denominator for easier addition

$\dfrac{l + 5l - 70}{l(l - 14)} = \dfrac{1}{4}$

Simplify

$4(6l - 70) = l(l - 14)$

Cross multiplication ( $\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d} \Rightarrow ad = bc$ )

$24l - 280 = l^2 - 14l$

Simplify

$l^2 - 38l + 280 = 0$

Subtract $24l - 280$ from both sides of the equation

$(l - 10)(l - 28) = 0$

Factor left side of the equation

$l = 10, 28$

Zero Product Property

Now, notice that we have found two solutions, but the problem is only asking for one. This <em>likely </em>means that one of our solutions is extraneous. Let's take a look. Remember that the smaller positive number is equal to 14 less than the larger number. However,

$s = 10 - 14 = -4$ ,

Since $s$ is not positive in this case, $l = 10$ is not a solution.

Thus, $l = 28$ is our only solution. In this case,

$s = 28 - 14 = 14$ ,

which means that the smaller number is 14 and the larger number is 28.

In Jack's class, 7 out of 25 students have hazel eyes. What percent of the class has hazel eyes?

denis23 [38]

You're going to set up a proportion. % over 100 = is over of. You're looking for the percent so that's your x. X over 100=7 over 25. Cross multiply to get 25x=700. Divide both sides by 25 and your answer is 28%
