Answer:

the coefficient of the first term of a polynomial written in standard form is called the <u><em>leading</em></u> coefficient.

<em>for example,</em>

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]

<u>Answer:</u>

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

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

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.<br> 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 )

=>   C =  6x  +  3(x + 2y)

=>   C =   9x  +  6y

Now the area of the fence is mathematically represented as

      A =  x* y =  24

=>    y  =  \frac{24}{x}

=>  C =   9x  +  6[\frac{24}{x} ]

=>   C =   9x  +  [\frac{144}{x} ]

Now differentiating

     C'  =  9 + 144*  (-2) x^{-2}

     C'  =  9 - 288x^{-2}

At minimum C' =  0

So  

     9 - 288x^{-2} =  0

     x^{-2} =  0.03125

    x =  \sqrt{\frac{1}{0.03125} }

    x =  5.66

Now substituting for x in the equation above to obtain minimum cost

       C =   9(5.66)  +  [\frac{144}{5.66} ]

       C \approx \$76
