What are the important things to remember or be careful about when adding and subtracting polynomials?

Be careful you don't add unlike terms together (e.g. x^2 and x cannot be added or subtracted together).
Be careful you don't mistake the 2 in x^2 as another number. Same for x^3, x^4. etc.

Answer: $110

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: At Simba Travel Agency, the price of a climbing trip to Mount Kilimanjaro includes an initial fee plus a constant fee per meter.

F(d)models the fee (in dollars) for climbing d meters.

$F(d)=110+0.12d$

To find the initial amount, substitute d=0 int the above function, we get

$F(0)=110+0.12(0)=110$

Hence, the initial fee= $110.

a ramp measures 6 feet long. if the ramp is 12 inches tall, what is the horizontal distance that it covers?

svp [43]

We know that

1 ft--------> is equals to 12 in
the ramp is 12 inches tall----------> 1 ft tall
A ramp measures------------------> 6 ft long

applying the Pythagorean theorem
c²=a²+b²
where
c-----> 6 ft long
a----> horizontal distance
b-----> 1 ft tall

a²=c²-b²------> a²=6²-1²-----> a²=35------> a=√35------> a=5.92 ft

the answer is
5.92 ft
