Answer:

Degree 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Degree of f(x) = 3

Degree of g(x) = 5

Required

Degree of 2f(x) + 4g(x)

<h2>Analyzing both polynomials</h2><h3>f(x)</h3>

2f(x) means 2 * f(x)

Since 2 is a constant

Multiplying f(x) by 2 will result in a polynomial with a degree of 3

Hence 2f(x) has a degree of 3

<h3 /><h3>g(x)</h3>

4g(x) means 4 * g(x)

Since 4 is also a constant

Multiplying g(x) by 4 will result in a polynomial with a degree of 5

Hence 4g(x) has a degree of 5

Having said that;

When 2 polynomials of different degrees are added together, the degree of the result will be the higher degree of both polynomials;

This means that;

Adding a polynomial of degree 3 and another of degree 5 will result in a polynomial of degree 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Simply distribute the 5

5(x + 12.95)

5x + 5(12.95)

multiply 12.95 by 5

64.75

so

How do you solve y=5/8b + 10 for b
joja [24]

Answer:

b = \frac{8y-80}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y = \frac{5}{8} b + 10

Multiply through by 8 to clear the fraction

8y = 5b + 80 ( subtract 80 from both sides )

8y - 80 = 5b ( divide both sides by 5 )

\frac{8y-80}{5} = b
