The slope is 3. to find the slope of the equation, you look at the leading coefficient (the number in front of the x)
Distributive property
a(b+c)+ab+ac
a(b-c)=ab-ac
(6z^2-4z+1)(8-3z)
move for nicety
(8-3z)(6z^2-4z+1)
distribute
8(6z^2-4z+1)-3z(6z^2-4z+1)=
48z^2-32z+8-18z^3+12z^2-3z=
-18z^3+48z^2+12z^2-32z-3z+8=
-18z^3+60z-35z+8
Just general definitons:
a TRInomial has 3 terms (tri means three)
a BInomial has 2 terms (bi means two)
a MONOmial has 1 term (mono means one)
the degree is the highest exponent found in the algebraic expression
so they should be pretty easy to solve with that information, but just in case:
1. trinomial, degree of 4
2. binomial, degree of 3
3. monomial, degree of 2
for the final question, all you have to do is plug in 2 for x, so
(2)^2 - 2(2) + 1
4 - 4 + 1
so the answer is 1
Answer:
Initial temperature;
432.76
Common ratio;
-0.067
Equation;
Step-by-step explanation:
In this scenario, the time in minutes represents the independent variable x while the temperature of the pizza represents the dependent variable y.
The analysis is performed in Ms. Excel. The first step is to obtain a scatter plot of the data then finally inserting an exponential trend line to obtain the required equation.
The Ms. Excel output is shown in the attachment below. To obtain the initial temperature we substitute x = 0 in the equation. On the other hand, the common ratio is the exponent in the equation.
