Answer:
The leading coefficient is -3
The constant is 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The standard form of a polynomial is the descending order, that means that it must be written according from its higher power, down straight to the coefficient with no variable.
Hence, the leading coefficient is the one that is next to the highest exponent of the polynomial, in this case: =3x2.
The second term is 5x
And the last is 2. the constant
We have FIVE cats that each ate 1/4 cup of canned food.
Then, the five of them together ate:
5 times 1/4 cup This in mathematical expression is a profduct of an integer value (5) times the fraction (1/4) which we know how to multiply based on the problems we solved a few minutes ago:
5 * 1/4 = 5/1 * 1/4 = (5 * 1) / (1 * 4) = 5/4 cups
This answer can also be written as a MIXED number given that 5/4 is an IMPROPER fraction (a fraction with numerator larger than the denominator)
5/4 = 1 1/4
Not sure what answer your teacher would prefer. It depends on whether he/she wants you to use fractions or mixed numbers.
For the first day we have the following function:
f (n) = (0.3 * 10) n + 8
For the second day we have the following function:
f (n) = (0.4 * 10) n + 5
You spent the same amount of money as the day before:
(0.3 * 10) n + 8 = (0.4 * 10) n + 5
3n + 8 = 4n + 5
n = 8-5
n = 3 items
We evaluate each function for n = 3
f (3) = (0.3 * 10) * 3 + 8 = 17 $
f (3) = (0.4 * 10) * 3 + 5 = 17 $
The total amount of money is:
17 + 17 = 34 $
Answer:
you purchase 6 items
you spend at the craft store during the sale $ 34
