Explain how to find the degree of a polynomial.

1 answer:

6 0

The degree of a polynomial is the highest number as an exponent in a term, for example, 5x^3+5x^2, 3 is the degree. To find it, you need to either just find the highest number or add up multiple degrees in one term. An example of this is 5x^3y^3+4x^3y^2. Since 3+3=6 and 3+2=5, the first term has the highest degree.

Multiply the following rational expressions and simplify the result

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to solve the given expression,

$\frac{9y-33y^2-3y^4}{100-49y^2}.\frac{7y^2+17y+10}{14y^2+28y}$

$\frac{9y-33y^2-3y^4}{100-49y^2}.\frac{7y^2+17y+10}{14y^2+28y}$ = $\frac{-y(-9+33y+3y^3)}{100-49y^2}.\frac{7y^2+17y+10}{14y(y+2)}$

= $\frac{-y(-9+33y+3y^3)}{(10-7y)(10+7y)}.\frac{7y^2+10y+7y+10}{14y(y+2)}$

= $\frac{-y(-9+33y+3y^3)}{(10-7y)(10+7y)}.\frac{y(7y+10)+1(7y+10)}{14y(y+2)}$

= $\frac{-y(-9+33y+3y^3)}{(10-7y)(10+7y)}.\frac{(y+1)(7y+10)}{14y(y+2)}$

= $\frac{-3y(-3+11y+y^3)}{(10-7y)}.\frac{(y+1)}{14y(y+2)}$

= $\frac{-3(-3+11y+y^3)}{(10-7y)}.\frac{(y+1)}{14(y+2)}$

= $\frac{3(3-11y-y^3)(y+1)}{(10-7y)(14(y+2)}$

24. A farmstand collected $350 from sales on Wednesday. This amount was $75

larisa [96]

Answer:

$100

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Wednesday sales = $350

If the amount collected from sales on Wednesday was $75 greater than the amount collected from sales on Tuesday, then Tuesday's sales were $75 less than Wednesday's sales:

Tuesday sales = $350 - $75 = $275

If the amount collected from sales on Wednesday was two times as great as the amount collected from sales on Monday, then Monday's sales were half Wednesday's sales:

Monday sales = $350 ÷ 2 = $175

To calculate how much more the farmstand collected from sales on Tuesday than it collected on Monday, subtract the Monday sales from the Tuesday sales:

$275 - $175 = $100

What are the characteristics of the graph of the inequality x ≥ -2? The ray will move to the left. The ray will move to the righ

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The inequality x ≥ -2 is graphed on a number line. -2 is the smallest possible value. All subsequent values are larger and therefore lie to the right of -2.

Thus, the following are true:

1. The ray will move to the right (because x begins at -2 and increases, which means moving to the right on the number line).

2. It will use a closed circle (because x = -2 is part of the solution set).
