First of all, read the statement and understand what it means.
"The temperature was at least 36 degrees" means the temperature was 36 degrees or more, that is, "greater than or equal to 36 degrees".
Second. understand that we are comparing "temperature" to "36 degrees". That is, the variable will represent temperature. I like to use single-letter variable names that remind me of what they represent, so I would choose "t" or "T". You can use "kay" to remind you of something hot, or "splat" or "q" or anything else you might choose. It doesn't have to be a single letter, nor does it have to make any sense. (Later, when you revisit the problem, it works better if it *does* make sense.)
We've already figured out we want the comparison to be "greater than or equal to", so we need both the > symbol and the = symbol.
Of course, the number is 36, since you are told to use the number given. In some problems, you may want to convert the number to different units before you put it in the comparison.
T ≥ 36
You are told to divide a polynomial by a monomial, right? A monomial would be something like x + 3, and your polynomial could be something like x^2 + 7x + 12. The remainder theorem tells you that if you use long division to divide the polynomial by the monomial, if you have a remainder, the monomial is NOT a factor of the polynomial. You put the polynomial under the division sign and the monomial outside the division sign and do the dividing, just like you would if you had 80 under the division sign and 10 outside. When you divide the 80 by the 10, it comes out evenly with no remainder. Same thing with this: if you can divide x^2 + 7x + 12 by x + 3 and there is no remainder, then x + 3 is a factor of the polynomial. What's up on top above the division sign is the other factor. So when you multiply the x + 3 by what's on top, you get back your polyomial. It's really a very perfect and cool thing.
$139.11-$18.99 is 120.12 therefore 120.12miles is your answer
Answer:
1.627 miles is the difference
Let me do this when I come back from school, cylinders are easy for me. Is this something you need to finish now?
