Answer:
(c) 27x^11 +51x^7 +9x^6 -60x^5 +17x^2 -20
Step-by-step explanation:
As with many multiple-choice questions, you only need to look at something that will discriminate the correct answer from the wrong one.
The highest-degree product term is the product of the highest-degree terms in the factors:
(3x^5)(9x^6) = 27x^11
This matches choice C only.
_____
In case you're interested in actually performing the rest of the multiplication, the distributive property applies.
(1 +3x^5)(17x^2 +9x^6 -20)
= 1(17x^2 +9x^6 -20) +3x^5(17x^2 +9x^6 -20)
= 17x^2 +9x^6 -20 +51x^7 +27x^11 -60x^5
Writing these terms in order of decreasing exponents gives ...
= 27x^11 +51x^7 +9x^6 -60x^5 +17x^2 -20

Step-by-step explanation:
Let x feet be the actual length of the school bus. You know that in a scale drawing

then

Write a proportion:

Answer: the actual length of the school bus is 45 feet.
The sides of a square are all the same length.
Area = length x width.
Area = 10 1/4 x 10 1/4 = 105 1/16
Answer:
The probability that he will get a red gumdrop and a piece of butterscotch candy is 2/25
Step-by-step explanation:
The path to find the answer is to find the probability of both things happening and then multiply them. First, there is 1 red gumdrop and 4 green gumdrops in a jar. There are 5 gumdrops total so the probability of choosing a red one is 1/5. Next, there are 2 pieces of butterscotch candy and 3 pieces of cinnamon candy in another jar. There are 5 pieces of candy total so the probability of choosing a piece of butterscotch candy is 2/5. Finally multiply the two probabilities: 1/5 * 2/5 = <u>2/25.</u>
