Hi there! :)

<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

<em><u>x=-6</u></em>

<em><u>*The answer must have a negative sign.*</u></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you divide by -2 from both sides of an equation.

\frac{-2x}{-2}=\frac{12}{-2}

Then, you divide by the numbers from left too right.

12/2=6

It change positive to negative sign.

<u><em>Final answer is x=-6</em></u>

I hope this helps you!

Have a nice day! :)

-Charlie

Part A- Create a fourth degree polynomial in standard form. How do you know it is in standard form?
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

(a)2x^4-9x^3+x^2+x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)The degree of a polynomial is the highest power of the unknown variable in the polynomial.

A polynomial is said to be in standard form when it is arranged in descending order/powers of x.

An example of a fourth degree polynomial is: 2x^4-9x^3+x^2+x-5

We know the polynomial above is in standard form because it is arranged in such a way that the powers of x keeps decreasing.

(b)Polynomials are closed with respect to addition and subtraction. This is as a result of the fact that the powers do not change. Only the coefficients

change. This is illustrated by the two examples below:

(2x^5-3x^2+x)+(3x^5-5x^2)\\=2x^5-3x^2+x+3x^5-5x^2\\=5x^5-8x^2+x\\$Similarly\\(2x^5-3x^2+x)-(3x^5-5x^2)\\=2x^5-3x^2+x-3x^5+5x^2\\=-x^5+2x^2+x

The degrees do not change in the above operations. Only the number beside each variable changes. Therefore, the addition and subtraction of polynomials is closed.

Is there an error in this statement If x2 = 25, then x = 5.
katen-ka-za [31]
Yes there is an error in this statement.

because x^2 = 25 
so x = 5...this is one condition

Another condition is x = -5
(-5)^2 = 25 (this is also true)
