Where an, an-1,a2, a1, a0 are constants. We call the term containing the highest power of x the leading term, and we call an the leading coefficient. The degree of the polynomial is the power of x in the leading term. We have already seen degree 0, 1, and 2 polynomials which were the constant, linear, and quadratic functions, respectively. Degree 3, 4, and 5
Answer: C
Step-by-step explanation: i’m doing the test too
Answer:
We know that lines AB and CD are parallel because if you expand them, we know they will never touch.
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the greatest common factor (GCF) of 9 and 12 using factor trees. The GCF is 3
Divide each term (9 and 12) over 3
9/3 = 3
12/3 = 4
So 9/12 reduces to 3/4
In other words, 9/12 = 3/4
--------------------------------------
Now focusing on 3/4, we can multiply top and bottom by the same value. Let's say we multiply top and bottom by 5
3*5 = 15
4*5 = 20
So 3/4 = 15/20
--------------------------------------
So two ratios equivalent to 9/12 are 3/4 and 15/20. There are infinitely other ratios that are equivalent.
In short, the answers are 3/4 and 15/20.
Answer: -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember, the more negative a number is, the farther below 0 it is getting.
So, -100 is less than -1. And in this case, -5 is less than -2.
