Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Part of the definition of a polynomial is that the exponents have to be non-negative integers.  In other words, it cannot have a fraction as an exponent or an imaginary number.  Our polynomial has real non-negative exponents, so it is in fact a polynomial.  The degree is found in the highest exponent of the polynomial.  Ours is a 5th degree.  The leading coefficient is the number stuck to the x that has the highest degree.  Therefore, our leading coefficient is -16.  B is your choice.

an airplane travels 600 miles against the wind in 5 hours, and makes the return trip with the same wind in 2 hours. find the rat
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

The speed of wind is 75 miles / hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume

speed of airplane is x miles /hour

speed of wind is y miles /hour

An airplane travels 600 miles against the wind in 4 hours

against wind means resultant speed will be less

so, speed =x-y

total distance traveled in 4 hour is

and this has to be equal to 600

Divide both sides by 4

makes the return trip with then same wind in 2 hours

with wind means resultant speed will be more

so, speed =x+y

total distance traveled in 2 hour is

and this has to be equal to 600

Divide both sides by 2

So, we get system of equations

now, we can solve it by adding both equations

now, we can solve for x

now, we can  find y by plugging x into any one equation

Rewrite the product as a sum: 10cos(5x)sin(10x)
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

10cos(5x)sin(10x) =  5[sin (15x) + sin (5x)]

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are tasked with writing the product as a sum.

To do this, we shall be using the sum to product formula below;

cosαsinβ = 1/2[ sin(α + β) - sin(α - β)]

From the question, we can say α= 5x and β= 10x

Plugging these values into the equation, we have

10cos(5x)sin(10x) = (10) × 1/2[sin (5x + 10x) - sin(5x - 10x)]

= 5[sin (15x) - sin (-5x)]

We apply odd identity i.e sin(-x) = -sinx

Thus applying same to sin(-5x)

sin(-5x) = -sin(5x)

Thus;

5[sin (15x) - sin (-5x)] = 5[sin (15x) -(-sin(5x))]

= 5[sin (15x) + sin (5x)]

Hence,  10cos(5x)sin(10x) =  5[sin (15x) + sin (5x)]
