How do you find the degree of a polynomial

1 answer:

Lets look at x^2+8x-3

the degree of the polynomial is the highest power of the exponent of the placeholders

x^2, power=2
8x, power=1
-3, power=0 (-3x^0=-3)

so if you had
x^89+x^8-8x-2^100
degree is 89 since that is highest power of the placeholders

Answer:

x ≈ - 6.74, 0.74

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 6x - 5 = 0 ( add 5 to both sides )

x² + 6x = 5

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides

x² + 2(3)x + 9 = 5 + 9

(x + 3)² = 14 ( take square root of both sides )

x + 3 = ± $\sqrt{14}$ ( subtract 3 from both sides )

x = - 3 ± $\sqrt{14}$

Then

x = - 3 - $\sqrt{14}$ ≈ - 6.74 ( to the nearest hundredth )

x = - 3 + $\sqrt{14}$ ≈ 0.74 ( to the nearest hundredth )

The population of retired citizens in Memphis is 54000. If the population decreases at a rate of 5.9 % each year. What will the

kobusy [5.1K]

We will have the following:

First, we construct the exponential decay function, that is:

$P(x)=54000(1-0.059)^x\Rightarrow P(x)=54000(0.941)^x$

Now, we will determine the population after 6 years:

$P(6)=54000(0.941)^6\Rightarrow P(6)=37491.38638$

So, the population after 6 years will be of approximately 37491 people-
