1. Explain a method of determining the correct degree and classification of a polynomial.

1 answer:

7 0

<span>A polynomial can be classified according to the number of expressions that it has in a given equation. A monomial has only one expression having a coefficient (number) and a variable (letter). A binomial has two expressions, same as the definition of the monomial. And a trinomial has three expressions, same as the definition of a monomial. We can determine the degree of a polynomial by looking at the exponents of the given polynomial. If an expression has two variables with different exponents, you can add their exponent to determine their degree.

So the polynomial, 4x</span>²y + 5xy is classified as a 3rd degree binomial because the first term, 4x²y has a variables x² and y. The x² has an exponent 2 and y has an exponent 1. Adding the two makes it three.

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST TO THE BEST ANSWER. PLEASE SHOW ALL WORK IN FULL SOLUTIONS. THANK YOU. A basketball has a diameter of 7.4 c

I think the answer is A.

the formula to find the volume of a sphere is 4/3 x pi x radius cubed. this means you have to split the diameter in half giving you 3.7 which automatically rules out the answers with 7.4 written in them. now you have to compare A and D but D has 3/3 at the end. this is where you can see that it’s wrong because when you cube you don’t use a fraction.

Use the given figure to find the length of FG

ra1l [238]

ANSWER

$|FG| = 19 \: units$

EXPLANATION

Since the altitude, |GJ| bisects the base of the triangle, it follows that, the triangle is an isosceles triangle.

This implies that,.

$|FG|=|GH|$

In terms of x, we have the equation.

$5x - 6 = 3x + 4$

We now group like terms to obtain,

$5x - 3x = 4 + 6$

This implies that,

$2x = 10$

Let us divide through by 2 to get,

$x = 5$

We can see from the diagram that,

$|FG|=5x-6$

We substitute x=5 to get,

$|FG|=5(5)-6$

This simplifies to,

$|FG|=25-6$

$|FG|=19 \: units$

I need help answering the question in the photo

Lana71 [14]

Given:

Results of a spinner shown in the table.

To find:

The experimental probability of the spinner landing on a 1 or 7.

Solution:

From the given table it is clear that,

Spinner landing on 1 = 12 times

Spinner landing on 7 = 9 times

Spinner landing on 1 or 7 = 12+9 = 21 times

Total number of times spinner landed = 12+35+72+29+40+18+9+65+42 = 322 times

Now, the experimental probability of the spinner landing on a 1 or 7 is

$P=\dfrac{\text{Spinner landing on 1 or 7}}{\text{Total number of times spinner landed}}$

$P=\dfrac{21}{322}$

$P=0.06521739$

$P\approx 0.065$

Therefore, the correct option is A.

Answer:

B.2 1/41

Step-by-step explanation:

In a perfect square trinomial of the form ax+bx+c where a, b and c are constants, the value of (b/2)²=ac

In the provided equation the value of a=1, b=-3 c=?

Therefore, (-3/2)²=c since a-the coefficient of x²=1 and 1×c=c

c=2.25= 2 1/4

Thus the trinomial x² - 3x + 2 1/4 is a perfect square.

How do you round off to the nearest 1000 ?

mamaluj [8]

Rule I: While rounding off to the nearest thousand, if the digit in the hundreds place is between 0 – 4 i.e., < 5, then the hundreds place is replaced by '0'. Rule II: If the digit in the hundreds place is = to or > 5, then the hundreds place is replaced by '0' and the thousands place is increased by 1.
