Answer:

the coefficient of the first term of a polynomial written in standard form is called the leading coefficient.

for example,

in 6x^3 + 8x^2 + 6x, the first term is 6x^2 and the coefficient of this term is 6.

Lets day the original price of the dvd player was $100,
36% marked down means you pay $64x
64x = $41.60
100x = 100/54 x 41.60 = 4160/64 = #65.00 = original cost
similarly, stereo tuners = 100/78 x 69.42 = 6942/78 = $89 original cost
DVD = 65- 41.60 = $ 23. 40 less
Stereo = 89- 69.42 = $ 19.58 less
Diffrence is $ 3.82
so your answer is the dvd player price was reduced by $3.82 more than the stereo tuner.

A recent survey by the cancer society has shown that the probability that someone is a smoker is P(S)=0.29. They have also deter

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

The correct answer option is P (S∩LC) = 0.16.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is known that the probability if someone is a smoker is P(S)=0.29 and the probability that someone has lung cancer, given that they are also smoker is P(LC|S)=0.552.

So using the above information, we are to find the probability hat a random person is a smoker and has lung cancer P(S∩LC).

P (LC|S) = P (S∩LC) / P (S)

Substituting the given values to get:

0.552 = P(S∩LC) / 0.29

P (S∩LC) = 0.552 × 0.29 = 0.16

Express in simplest radical form. V40

Andrews [41]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{2 \sqrt{10}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

When taking a square root and making it a radical, we need to list out it's factors and find which one we can take the square root of.

The factors of 40 are:

1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40.

Out of these, we need to look for one that we can find the square root of.

We know that the square root of 4 is 2.

Therefore, we can make $\sqrt{40}$ into $\sqrt{4 \cdot 10}$ .

The square root of 4 is 2. Therefore, we can put that outside the radical.

$2 \sqrt{10}$ .

Hope this helped!

A rancher wishes to build a fence to enclose a rectangular pen having area 24 square yards. Along one side the fence is to be ma

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

The value is $C \approx \$76$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The area of the rectangular pen is $A = 24 \ yard^2$

The cost of material used to make one side is $z = \$ 6$

The cost of material used to make the other sides is $r = \$ 3$

Now , the fence to be build around the rectangular pen has four sides, the first opposite sides are equal, let assume each of the to be x yard and the other opposite sides are also equal as well let assume of the to be y yard

So the cost is mathematically represented as

$C = zx + r (x + 2y )$
