nika2105 [10]

Answer:

For -2x^2+x, Leading coefficient is -2, Degree is 2, Constant term is 0

For 9-25x^2+8x, Leading coefficient is -25, Degree is 2, Constant term is 9

For x^5+x^3-x^2-1, Leading coefficient is 1, Degree is 5, Constant term is -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Polynomials:

-2x^2+x\\9-25x^2+8x\\x^5+x^3-x^2-1

To find: leading coefficient, constant term and degree

Solution:

Leading coefficient is the coefficient of the variable with the highest power.

Degree is the highest power of the variable.

The term of degree 0 is the constant term of a polynomial.

For -2x^2+x,

Leading coefficient is -2

Degree is 2

Constant term is 0

For 9-25x^2+8x

Leading coefficient is -25

Degree is 2

Constant term is 9

For x^5+x^3-x^2-1

Leading coefficient is 1

Degree is 5

Constant term is -1

Find the value of x.
andre [41]
The triangle is an isosceles triangle because of its degrees. A triangle consists of 180 degrees therefore, 180-90-45 simply makes it 45 matching the other side.

So we can assume that side b is also equivalent to side a. Here we use the pythagorean theorem to find x

a^2 + b^2 = c^2
5^2 + 5^2 = c^2
25+25=50

The square root of 50 is 7.1
x= 7.1
