It is the first statement. It is positive two, so it’s above sea level. We can immediately get rid of the last two statements. Then, it is negative 20. The is 18 feet below sea level, because 2-20 is -18. Positive 8 shows rising up by 8 feet. The correct statement is the first one.
Answer:
$1.30
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the cost of the pencil
Let x + .80 = the cost of the pen
Let 4(x + .80) = the cost of the binder
x + x + .80 + 4(x + .80) = 11.80
2x + .80 + 4x + 3.20 = 11.80
6x + 4.00 = 11.80
6x = 7.80
x = $1.30
x + .80 = $2.10
4(x + .80) = $8.40
Answer:
B.
Step-by-step explanation:
To have a negative slope, <em>m</em> has to be negative. Any negative slope would show up as a negative coefficient in front of <em>x</em>.
To determine the degree of a polynomial, you look at every term:
- if the term involves only one variable, the degree of that term is the exponent of the variable
- if the term involves more than one variable, the degree of that term is the sum of the exponents of the variables.
So, for example, the degree of 
is 55, while the degree of 
is 
Finally, the term of the degree of the polynomial is the highest degree among its terms.
So, 
is a degree 2 polynomial (although it only has one term)
similarly, 
is a degree 3 polynomial: the first two terms have degree 3, because they have exponents 2 and 1.
