Cory writes the polynomial x7 3x5 3x 1. Melissa writes the polynomial x7 5x 10. Is there a difference between the degree of the

bagirrra123 [75]

Degree of a polynomial gives the highest power of its terms. Yes there is a difference between the degrees of sum and difference of the polynomials.

<h3>What is degree of a polynomial?</h3>

Degree of a polynomial is the highest power that its terms pertain(for multi-variables, the power of term is addition of power of variables in that term).

Thus, in $x^3 + 3x^2 + 5$ , the degree of the polynomial is 3 as the highest power in its terms is 3.

(power and exponent are same thing)

<h3>What are like terms?</h3>

Those terms which have same variables raised with same powers.

For example, $x^3$ and $3x^3$ are like terms since variable is same, and it is raised to same power 3.

For example $4x^2$ and $x^3$ are not like terms as the variables are same but powers aren't same.

The given polynomials are:

$c(x) = x^7 + 3x^5 + 3x + 1\\\\p(x) = x^7 + 5x + 10$

Their sum is

$c(x) + p(x) = x^7 + 3x^5 + 3x + 1 + x^7 + 5x + 10 = (1+1)x^7 + 3x^5 + (3+5)x + 11\\\\c(x) + p(x) = 2x^7 + 3x^5 + 8x + 11$

(only like terms' coefficients can be added (or subtracted) for addition or subtraction of them )

The sum's degree is 7

Their difference is:

$c(x) - p(x) = x^7 + 3x^5 + 3x + 1 - x^7 -5x - 10 = (1-1)x^7 + 3x^5 +(3-5)x -9\\\\c(x) - p(x) = 3x^5 - 2x - 9$

Difference's degree is 5

Thus, both's degrees are not same.

Thus, Yes there is a difference between the degrees of sum and difference of the polynomials.

Tom works in the cold food department in a supermarket. The thermometer shows the temperature of one of the freezers. The freeze

To return back to -18°C from -10°C, you would have to lower the temperature by -8°C to compensate for the difference.

Hope that helps!

Two balls are chosen randomly from an urn containing 8 white, 4 black, and 2 orange balls. Suppose that we win $2 for each black

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

The objective of the problem is obtained below:

From the information, an urn consists of, 4 black, 2 orange balls and 8 white.

The person loses $1 for each white ball selected, no money is lost or gained for any orange balls picked and win $2 for each black ball selected. Let the random variable X denotes the winnings.

No winnings probability= 0.011

Probability of winning $1=0.3516

Probability of winning $2= 0.0879

Probability of winning $4= 0.0659

According to a recent publication, the mean price of new mobile homes is $63 comma 800. Assume a standard deviation of $7900.

wolverine [178]

Answer:

a. For n=25, the mean and standard deviation of the prices of the mobile homes all possible sample mean prices are $63,800 and $1,580, respectively.

b. For n=50, the mean and standard deviation of the prices of the mobile homes all possible sample mean prices are $63,800 and $1,117, respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, for each sample size, we have a sampling distribution (a distribution for the population of sample means), with the following parameters:

$\mu_s=\mu=63,800\\\\\sigma_s=\sigma/\sqrt{n}=7,900/\sqrt{n}$

For n=25 we have:

$\mu_s=\mu=63,800\\\\\sigma_s=\sigma/\sqrt{n}=7,900/\sqrt{25}=7,900/5=1,580$

The spread of the sampling distribution is always smaller than the population spread of the individuals. The spread is smaller as the sample size increase.

This has the implication that is expected to have more precision in the estimation of the population mean when we use bigger samples than smaller ones.

If n=50, we have:

$\mu_s=\mu=63,800\\\\\sigma_s=\sigma/\sqrt{n}=7,900/\sqrt{50}=7,900/7.07=1,117$

Use the diagrams at the right to find the trigonometric ratio

zzz [600]

Hi, It is simple:

Sin(A) = a / c

Cos(A) = b / c

Tan(B) = b / a

Sin(J) = j / i

Cos(K) = j / i

Tan(K) = k / j

This are the answers
