Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a couple ways of thinking about this.  Probably the fastest way is the rule, but the rule is not intuitive.  The rule is when you divide fraction, you keep the first fraction the same and then multiple and flip the second fraction.

2/8 x 18/9 = 36/72  To reduce the fraction, could keep dividing the top and the bottom by the same number until it is no longer possible, I could use: 2, 4 3, 9, 18, or 36.  If I used 36, I would only have to divide once.  36/16 is 1 and 72/36 is 2 so my answer would be 1/2.

I could have divided the top and bottom by 2 and got 18/36 and then divide by 2 again and get 9/18 and then by 9 and get 1/2.  As you can, see there are a lot of option.  

The second method is in the picture that I sent you, it is a little more work, but it makes sense.

Part A- Create a fourth degree polynomial in standard form. How do you know it is in standard form?
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

(a)2x^4-9x^3+x^2+x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)The degree of a polynomial is the highest power of the unknown variable in the polynomial.

A polynomial is said to be in standard form when it is arranged in descending order/powers of x.

An example of a fourth degree polynomial is: 2x^4-9x^3+x^2+x-5

We know the polynomial above is in standard form because it is arranged in such a way that the powers of x keeps decreasing.

(b)Polynomials are closed with respect to addition and subtraction. This is as a result of the fact that the powers do not change. Only the coefficients

change. This is illustrated by the two examples below:

(2x^5-3x^2+x)+(3x^5-5x^2)\\=2x^5-3x^2+x+3x^5-5x^2\\=5x^5-8x^2+x\\$Similarly\\(2x^5-3x^2+x)-(3x^5-5x^2)\\=2x^5-3x^2+x-3x^5+5x^2\\=-x^5+2x^2+x

The degrees do not change in the above operations. Only the number beside each variable changes. Therefore, the addition and subtraction of polynomials is closed.
