Which polynomial is in standard form?
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form is [ ax² + bx + c ]

The exponents and variables determine what comes first.  In [ 11x³ - 6x² + 5x ], we can see that the exponents are going from greatest to least and the last number doesn't have an exponent so it goes last. Essentially we can think of this as sorting each part from greatest to least using exponents -> variables -> number to determine that.

Best of Luck!

The volume of construction work was increased by 60% but the productivity of labor increased by only 25%. By what percent must t
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer: 28 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, Initially,

V be the volume of construction work

r be the productivity of labor  

n be the number of days

x be the number workers.

Thus,  V  = r × n × x   ------------(1)      

Now, According to the question,

The volume of construction work was increased by 60% but the productivity of labor increased by only 25%.

Therefore,

Final volume of the work = 160% of V = 1.6 V

Final productivity = 125% of r = 1.25 r

Also, the time is same in both conditions,

Final time taken = n

Let y be the number of people after changes.

Thus, 1.6 V = 1.25 r × n × y -----(2)

Dividing equation (1) by equation (2)

We get, y = 1.60 x/1.25

Thus, the changes in the number of workers

= \frac{(\frac{1.60x}{1.25}-x) }{x}\times 100

= 0.28 × 100

= 28 %

Fill in the blank 8(? +3) =48+24
Triss [41]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

treat the ? as an x. you need to get it by itself. but first you should distribute the 8.

8x + 24 = 48 +24

8x+24 = 72

take the 24 and subtract it from 72

8x= 48

now divide both sides by 8

x= 6
