Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A.  The leading coefficient is the number on the highest degree term.  We have a 2nd degree polynomial because of the power of 2 on the x.  That's what leads this polynomial off.  So the leading coefficient is the number stuck to that x-squared term.  Our leading coefficient is a -.2, not 5.  5 is the linear term.

B.  The constant is the number that doesn't have a variable stuck to it.  Our constant, then, is -8, not 2.

C.  The expression does in fact have 3 terms.  Each term is separated from the other terms by either a plus sign or a minus sign.  A polynomial with 3 terms is called a trinomial.

D.  The expression actually factors to x = 1.718... and x = 23.281...  Neither one of those is the factor given in the statement.  

The only one that is true is C.

<h3>Answer:</h3>

48 mph

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The rate in miles per second can be converted to the rate in miles per hour by multiplying by the number of seconds in an hour:

\dfrac{1\,mi}{75\,s}\cdot\dfrac{3600\,s}{1\,h}=\dfrac{3600\,mi}{75\,h}=48\,mi/h

An instructor made a frequency table of the scores his students got on a test score frequency 30-under 40 1 40-under 50 4 50-und
RideAnS [48]
First, you add up the total number of students because we would base our percentage one this.

Total number of students = 1+4+5+10+20+10+5
Total number of students = 55

Now, let's count how many of them got a score of more than 70. For this, you would only count the students belonging to 70-under 80, 80-under 90 and 90-under 100.

Students who got more than 70 = 20+ 10 + 5 = 35

Therefore the percentage is equal to:
Percentage = 35/55 * 100 = 63.64%

Ok last week she walked 18/6 which equals 3 and 3 is less than 2.5. 2.5h is really just that times how many hours.D is the amount of miles.So,the awnser is going to  be b or d.But we dont know what d is in d=2,5h so we have to asume that b is the awnser
