Answer:

  2. degree 3; leading coefficient 8

  4. degree 6; leading coefficient 7

  6. not a polynomial

Step-by-step explanation:

The "leading coefficient" is the coefficient of the highest-degree term in the sum of terms that makes up a polynomial.

These expressions all have one variable, so the number of variables in not an issue in any case. All of the exponents are positive integers, so that is not an issue in any case. However, the variable appears in the denominator in the expression of problem 6, so that sum is not a polynomial.

__

2. In order to put this into the form we recognize as a polynomial, the expression must be "simplified' by performing the multiplication of the two factors:

 = 8x³ -4x² +6x -3

The leading coefficient is the coefficient of the highest-degree term, which is the product of the highest-degree terms of the factors. That product is ...

  (2x)(4x²) = 8x³

so the leading coefficient is 8. The variable is to the 3rd power, so the degree is 3.

You don't actually have to do the rest of the multiplication in order to find the required answer.

__

4. The expression is already written as a sum, so we only need to find the term of highest degree. That is the last one: 7y^6. Its degree is 6 and its leading coefficient is 7.

__

6. Variables are not allowed in the denominator of a polynomial. This expression is not a polynomial.

_____

<em>Comment on degree</em>

The degree of a term is the exponent of the variable. If there is more than one variable, the degree of the term is the sum of their exponents. For example, the polynomial ...

  x² +xy +y²

has three terms, each of degree 2.

If this example were one of your problems, it would be rejected as "not a polynomial in one variable," since two variables are involved.

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

y= 1/2x - 2

To find the x intercept, set y =0 and solve for x

0= 1/2x - 2

Add 2 to each side

2 = 1/2x -2+2

2 = 1/2x

Multiply by 2

2*2 = 1/2x *2

4 =x

The x intercept is 4

Consider the equation 8x + 5 = 37. Write a real-life scenario that this equation could model.8x+5-5=37-5 8x=32 8x/8=32/8 x=4
laila [671]

Answer: See the full explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can actually do this using various life scenario. Let me help you with this example.

Suppose that one person is called Mike and he needs to buy something, here is your scenario for Mike to get what he want:

Mike wants to buy a pair of shoes that worth 37$ for a soccer game next week. He only has 5$ in his wallet. In order to get the remaining money, he decides to work in a market for a day. If the market pay 8$ per hour, how many hours does Mike need to have enough money to buy the shoes?.

This is the real life scenario. The equation is as above, because you can call "x" the number of hours needed, so as you solve the equation, you'll realize that the number of hours needed is 4:

8x + 5 = 37

8x = 37 - 5

8x = 32

x = 32/8 = 4 hours needed.
