The answer is D, because that is what you should get when you multiply it out.
4x^2 times x^2 = 4x^4 because...
1) multiply the 4 and the one in front of the x on the second term = 4 then
2) multiply x^2 times x^2 to get x^4, not x^3, so you can immediately eliminate A and B to save time.
Now let's deal with the second part..."may or may not be" part
A polynomial is an expression with more than two algebraic terms
terms are like...
2x + 3y ---there's two terms there, eventhough the 2 and x are multiplied, it doesn't count (same with the 3 and y)
since it only have two terms, not more than two terms, it is called a binomial, not polynomial. I think that's what they mean by that
one term with a variable (y,x,and so on) is called a monomial
one term with no var is called a constant
there's many more but hope this gave you some help

You pass the free terms wich don't contain 'x' in the othe part of the equal with changed signe ans the same for the terms wich contain x.
The ratio of soda to fruit juice in the punch is 1 to 2/3
Z = (x - m)/s
z = (38-40)/8
z = -2/8
z = -1/4
z = -0.25
The z score is -0.25
Interior angles on parallel lines cut by a traversal are supplementary (they add up to 180°). These can be identified as "c" angles, due to their shape. Knowing this, we can figure out the value of x:
7x+(2x+36)=180
7x+2x+36=180
Simplify the equation
9x+36=180
Collect like terms
9x=144
Divide by 9 on both sides to isolate x
x=16
