The coefficient of first term of a polynomial written in standard (descending order) form is called the ____ coefficient ?

2 answers:

8 0

We know that

1) The degree of a polynomial is the highest degree of its terms
2) The leading term in a polynomial is the highest degree term
3) The leading coefficient of a polynomial is the coefficient of the leading term
Therefore

The coefficient of first term of a polynomial written in standard (descending order) form is the coefficient of the leading term, thus is called the leading coefficient.

the answer is
The leading coefficient

The answer is: "leading".

Therefore, the complete sentence is: "The coefficient of first term of a polynomial written in standard (descending order) form is called the leading coefficient".

For example, if you have the following polynomial:

2x²-5x+10=0

Then, as you can see, the leading coefficient is: 2

Angle of a triangle measures 115° the other two angles are in the ratio of 4:9 what are the measures of those two angles

nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

20, 45

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle has 180 degrees interior angle measure. One angle measure 115 so that means the other two angles must add up to 65.

The remaning angles form a ratio of 4:9. This means we must split 65 into a ratio of. 4:9

A ratio partition parts of something. We can add the ratio intergers to find it full length.

4+9=13.

Divide 65/13=5.

Multiply 5x4 and 5x9 serpately.

We get 20 and 45

Jessica knows that the adult population gets, on average, eight hours of sleep each night. A hypothesis test can help her see if

Nitella [24]

Answer:

-4.42

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Population mean (pm) = 8 hours

Sample mean (sm) = 6.9 hours

Number of observations (n) = 101 students

Sample standard deviation (sd) = 2.5

Using the t-statistic formula :

[(sm - pm) / (sd/√n)]

Hence,

[(6.9 - 8) / (2.5/√101)]

[(-1.1) / (2.5/10.05)]

-1.1 / 0.2487562

= −4.422

The test statistic = - 4.42 to the nearest hundredth.

If there's 15 players total 1/3 are wearing red shoes 2/5 or wearing blue shoes and everyone else is wearing black shoes what is

Volgvan

Answer:

$\frac{4}{15}$ is the fraction of people wearing with black shoes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

If there's 15 players total, 1/3 are wearing red shoes, 2/5 are wearing blue shoes and everyone else is wearing black shoes.

Now, to find the fraction of people with black shoes.

Total players = 15.

Fraction of people wearing red shoes = $\frac{1}{3}.$

So, number of people are wearing red shoes:

$\frac{1}{3} \times 15\\\\=5.$

Fraction of people wearing blue shoes = $\frac{2}{5} .$

Thus, number of people wearing blue shoes:

$\frac{2}{5} \times 15\\\\=6.$

And rest are wearing black shoes.

Now, to get the number of people wearing black shoes by subtracting number of people are wearing red shoes and blue shoes from the total number of players:

$15-5-6\\\\=15-11\\\\=4.$
