Answer:

1. D quadratic

2. D monomial

3. B) Monomial

4. C) Constant

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Classify the following polynomial by degree. p(p - 5) + 6

p(p - 5) + 6

Distribute

p^2 -5p +6

This has 3 terms so it is a trinomial and is of the second order so it is quadratic. We are to classify it by degree (order) so it is quadratic

A) Binomial

B) Trinomial

C) Linear

D) Quadratic*****

2) Classify the following polynomial by number of terms. 5m^2 - 3m^2

5m^2 - 3m^2

2m^2

The polynomial as written has 2 terms, but can be simplified to one term. I always had students simplify first before classifying

I would call it monomial. Check your notes if your instructor does it differently.

A) Linear

B) Binomial

C) Quadratic

D) Monomial

3) Classify the following polynomial by number of terms. 2 + 3x^3 - 2

2 + 3x^3 - 2

Again, I teach simplify first

2-2 goes away

3x^3

This has 1 term so it is a monomial

A) Binomial

B) Monomial

C) Constant

D) Cubic

4) Classify the following polynomial by degree. -3 + 3x - 3x

-3 + 3x - 3x

Again I teach simplify first, so 3x-3x goes away

-3

This is a constant term

A) Trinomial

B) Linear

C) Constant

D) Monomial

1). p(p - 5) + 6

Distributive property.

p^2 - 5p + 6

This is a trinomial of degree two because of the fact that it contains three terms, and it's highest degree is two.

2).

5m^2 - 3m^2

Combine like terms.

2m^2

This is a monomial because it contains one term.

3). 2 + 3x^3 - 2

Combine like terms.

3x^3

This is a monomial because it contains one term.

4). -3 + 3x - 3x

Combine like terms.

-3

This is a constant, as there are no variables, and only one term.

Which of the following is the maximum value of the function y = −x^2 + 2x + 1?

azamat

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We don't need choices to find out the correct answer. Solve this problem by completing the square. Begin by setting the quadratic equal to 0 and moving over the constant, like this:

$-x^2+2x=-1$ and factor out the -1 in front of the x-squared, since the leading coefficient HAS to be a 1:

$-1(x^2-2x)=-1$ Now take half the linear term, square it, and add it to both sides. Our linear term is -2. Half of -2 is -1, and squaring that gives us 1. So we add a 1 into both sides. But that -1 out front there on the left is a multiplier, so what we actually added in was -1(1) which is -1:

$-1(x^2-2x+1)=-1-1$

On the left side we have a perfect square binomial, which is why we do this, and on the right side we have -2:

$-1(x-1)^2=-2$ and we can move that constant back over and set the quadratic back equal to y:

$y=-1(x-1)^2+2$ which gives us a max height of 2.

(If this was modeling parabolic motion, we would know that the time it takes to get to that max height is 1 second. The vertex of this parabola is (1, 2))
