Answer:
the polynomial has degree 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall that the degree of a polynomial is given by the degree of its leading term (the term with largest degree). Recall as well that the degree of a term is the maximum number of variables that appear in it.
So, let's examine each of the terms in the given polynomial, and count the number of variables they contain to find their individual degrees. then pick the one with maximum degree, and that its degree would give the actual degree of the entire polynomial.
1) term contains four variables "x" and two variables "y", so a total of six. Then its degree is: 6
2) term contains two variables "x" and five variables "y", so a total of seven. Then its degree is: 7
3) term contains four variables "x" and four variables "y", so a total of eight. Then its degree is: 8
This last term is therefore the leading term of the polynomial (the term with largest degree) and the one that gives the degree to the entire polynomial.
Answer:
about 2949 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The geometry of the situation can be modeled by a right triangle. The height of the cliff can be taken to be the side opposite the given angle, and the distance to the coyote will be the side adjacent to the given angle. The relation between these values is the trig function ...
Tan = Opposite/Adjacent
__
<h3>setup</h3>Filling in the known values, we have ...
tan(6°) = (310 ft)/(distance to coyote)
<h3>solution</h3>Multiplying by (distance to coyote)/tan(6°) gives ...
distance to coyote = (310 ft)/tan(6°) ≈ 310/0.105104 ft
distance to coyote ≈ 2949.453 ft
The coyote is about 2949 feet from the base of the cliff.
