Given a term in a geometric sequence and the common ratio find the first five terms, the explicit formula, and the recursive formula. Given two terms in a geometric sequence find the 8th term and the recursive formula. Determine if the sequence is geometric. If it is, find the common ratio.
To determine the degree of a polynomial, you look at every term:
- if the term involves only one variable, the degree of that term is the exponent of the variable
- if the term involves more than one variable, the degree of that term is the sum of the exponents of the variables.
So, for example, the degree of 
is 55, while the degree of 
is 
Finally, the term of the degree of the polynomial is the highest degree among its terms.
So, 
is a degree 2 polynomial (although it only has one term)
similarly, 
is a degree 3 polynomial: the first two terms have degree 3, because they have exponents 2 and 1.
Lines equal 180°. The line with angles 5 and 7 equals 180°. If angle 7 equals 61°, then angle 5 equals 119° (180° - 61°= 119°).
Angles 5 and 8 are opposite vertical angles, which are always congruent (equal), so angles 5 and 8 both equal 119°.
119° (angle 5) + 119° (angle 8)= 238°
ANSWER: The two angles total 238° (bottom choice).
