The <span>degree of a polynomial is related to the number of roots obtained from the polynomial. In this case, the roots can be classified as imaginary or real. To determine the type of roots obtained, we can calculate the determinant of the equation</span>

Step-by-step explanation:

An expression which contains coefficients, variables, non-negative integer exponents and constants is known as a polynomial.

For example,  x^{2} - 5x + 4 is a polynomial

where    coefficient of x^{2} = 1

              coefficient of x = -5

               constant = 4

              variable = x

and       exponent = 2

Degree of a polynomial is the highest power of variable in an expression.

In the above example, that is, x^{2} - 5x + 4 has a highest power of 2.

Degree of a polynomial tells about the number of roots a polynomial will have. Thus, we can conclude that x^{2} - 5x + 4 has degree 2 which means it will have 2 roots.

A polynomial with degree 3 with have 3 roots, a polynomial with degree 4 with have 4 roots, and so on. A degree will always be a non-negative integer.

Which expression does not factor?<br><br> m3 + 1<br> m3 – 1<br><br> m2 + 1<br><br> m2 – 1
Luda [366]

Answer:

m^2 +1

Explanation:

All the other expressions can be factorized. Let's see why:

1) m^3 +1

This is the sum of the cubes, and this can be factorized as follows:

a^3+b^3=(a+b)(a^2-ab+b^2)

In this case, a=m and b=1, so we can factorize as

m^3+1=(m+1)(m^2-m+1)

2) m^3-1

This is the difference between two cubes, and this can be factorized as follows:

a^3-b^3=(a-b)(a^2+ab+b^2)

In this case, a=m and b=1, so we can factorize as

m^3-1=(m-1)(m^2+m+1)

3) m^2-1

This is the difference between two square numbers, and it can be factorized as follows

(a^2-b^2)=(a+b)(a-b)

In this case, a=m and b=1, so we can factorize as

m^2-1=(m+1)(m-1)

Veronika [31]
If and only if (iff) statements are true if only both statements are true of both are false, its double implied.
Here are the implications:
If two lines are parallel then their slopes are equal.
If the slopes of two lines are equal then they are parallel.

Find the volume of the solid where the cone and half sphere are hollow. Use 3.14 for П ; height is 19 in; radius is 5 in. Round
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Volume of Solids

The volume of the solid is 758.83 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the cone and half sphere is hollow

The volume of the cone = 1/3 \pi r^{2} h\\

The Volume of the sphere  = 4/3 \pi r^{3}

So the Volume of the half sphere =2/3\pi r^{3}

The volume of solid = volume of cone + volume of the half sphere

V = V_{1}  + V_{2}

Given

height h = 19 in

radius r = 5 in

V_{1\\}  = 1/3 \pi r^{2} h

     = 1/3 × 3.14 × 5 × 5 × 19

     = 497.16 in³

V_{2}  =  2/3 \pi r^{3}

   = 2/3 × 3.14 × 5 × 5 × 5

   = 261.67 in³

V =  497.16 in³ + 261.67 in³

  = 758.83 in³

Hence the volume of the solid is 758.83 in³
