Answer:

(A) 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is:

$f(x)=3x^5+6x^4-x-3$

Now, The leading term is the term containing the highest power of the variable and the leading coefficient is the coefficient of the leading term.

Thus, The leading term of the given function is $3x^5$ , therefore the leading coefficient is the coefficient of this leading term that is 3.

Hence,, option A is correct.

A club is choosing 2 members to serve on a committee. The club has nominated 2 women and 4 men. Based on chance alone, what is t

Answer:

53.33% probability that one woman and one man will be chosen to be on the committee

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

The order in which the members are chosen is not important, so we use the combinations formula to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

$C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

What is the probability that one woman and one man will be chosen to be on the committee?

Desired outcomes:

One woman, from a set of 2, and one man, from a set of 4. So

$D = C_{2,1}*C_{4,1} = \frac{2!}{1!1!}*\frac{4!}{1!3!} = 8$

Total outcomes:

Two members from a set of 2 + 4 = 6. So

$T = C_{6,2} = \frac{6!}{2!4!} = 15$

Probability:

$p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{8}{15} = 0.5333$

53.33% probability that one woman and one man will be chosen to be on the committee

What is the solution of the following system of equations ? y- 2x and= 6 , y - 4x =0

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

x=3 and y=12

Step-by-step explanation:

$y-2x=6$ equation:1

$y-4x=0$ equation:2

Solving equation:1 for 'y' in terms of x

$y=6+2x$ equation:3

Putting 'y' in equation:2 which will make the equation of the single variable

$y-4x=0$

$6+2x-4x=0\\-2x=-6\\x=3$

Putting value of 'x' in equation:3 to find 'y'

$y=6+2x$

$y=6+2(3)\\y=6+6\\y=12$
