What is the leading coefficient in 1-2x+5x^4 when in standard form

1 answer:

4 0

That's a lot of points for this question. You don't have to offer that much.

Leading Coefficient: When written in standard form (starting with the variable with the highest power, going to the variable with the next highest power ... all the way down to a number with no variable), the leading coefficient is the number in front of the variable with the highest power.

Let me put this less technically. Find the variable with the highest power. The number in front of that variable is the leading coefficient.

Write this in standard form. 5x^4 -2x + 1
The number in front of the x^4 is the answer.

I believe you would just divide 134 by 8

134/8 = 16.75

That means you would earn $16.75 per hour.

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

{(1, 0), (1, 1), (2,0), (2,1), (2, 2), (3,0), (3,1), (3,2), (3,3), (4, 0), (4,1), (4,2), (4,3), (4,4), (5,0), (5,1),(5,2), (5,3), (5,4), (5,5), (6,0), (6,1),(6,2), (6,3), (6,4), (6,5), (6,6)}

B.)

{(2,2), (3,2), (4,2), (4,4), (5,2), (5,4), (6,2), (6,4), (6,6)}

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample space :

Die roll, then number of coin tosses based on the outcome of the die roll, then number of heada from the toss(es) is recorded along with the outcome of the die roll.

{(1, 0), (1, 1), (2,0), (2,1), (2, 2), (3,0), (3,1), (3,2), (3,3), (4, 0), (4,1), (4,2), (4,3), (4,4), (5,0), (5,1),(5,2), (5,3), (5,4), (5,5), (6,0), (6,1),(6,2), (6,3), (6,4), (6,5), (6,6)}

Event that the total number of head is even:

{(2,2), (3,2), (4,2), (4,4), (5,2), (5,4), (6,2), (6,4), (6,6)}

Marta is making two different charms for necklace one charm has a 1 cm diameter and a 3.14 centimeter circumference A similar ch

dlinn [17]

Both charms are "similar".

And notice one diameter is 1, the other is 4, the diameters are on a ratio of 1:4 then, and so both figures are on a ratio of 1:4.

so, if another unit, like the circumference is at 3.14 on the small one, then the large one will have a circumference 4 times that much, because the circumferences are also on a 1:4 ratio.

If a test has 95 questions how many points would each question be worth?

natita [175]

100/95= 1.05. Each question worth 1.1 rounded. You could miss 19 but if you miss 20 you go under 80.
