Classify the following expression by degree and term: (2 points) x2y − 7xy + xyz + x

1 answer:

4 0

The degree of the expression is based on the term with the highest exponent. First we can simplify the expression because x2y and 7xy are like terms. You can rearrange x2y into 2xy (the arrangement will not change the product). So if you combine the like terms, you will have a new equation with only three terms, so it will be considered as a trinomial.

xyz - 5xy + x

Remember to always arrange terms in your polynomial in descending order according to the degree.

Now for degree, just get the sum of the exponents to determine the highest degree. The first term in the new equation has 3 variables, x,y, and z. Each of them, even when the power is not expressed are each raised to the power of 1. There are three variables so it will be:
1+1+1 = 3

The first term is classified as 3rd degree, which is the highest. So now you can conclude that this expression is a 3rd degree trinomial.

Determine if (1,2) (3,4) (5,5) is a function

lapo4ka [179]

To determine if something is a function or relation, you would look at the x values and determine if every x value has 1 y value. any x vaue with more than one y value would be a relation.
this one would be a function because there only one y value for every x value

Brenda+said+that+5/2+divided+by+1/4+equals+10.+how+do+you+know+without+dividing+whether+brenda's+statement+is+reasonable?+justif

Lapatulllka [165]

<span>Brenda would be correct, another way to find the answer would be to use the keep change flip method. Where you keep 5/2 change division to multiplication then flip 4/1. The equation would then be 5/2 * 4/1 then you just multiply straight across 5*4 = 20 and 2*1 equals 2. You end up with 20/2 which reduces to 10</span>

There is 1/4 ounce of yeast in every 2 1/4 teaspoon of yeast. A recipe calls for 2 teaspoons of yeast. How many ounces of yeast

MrRissso [65]

1/4 ounce of yeast ... 2 1/4 teaspoons of yeast
x ounce of yeast = ? ... 2 teaspoons of yeast

If you would like to know how many ounces of yeast need to be in the recipe, you can calculate this using the following steps:

1/4 * 2 = x * 2 1/4
1/2 = x * 9/4 /*4/9
x = 1/2 * 4/9
x = 2/9

Result: 2/9 ounce of yeast needs to be in this recipe.
