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.

What’s the answer to this
Setler [38]

Answer:

The answere is (9,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

first equation

x - 2y = 3

9 - 2(3) = 3

9-6 = 3

3 = 3

second equations

2x - 3y = 9

2(9) - 3(3) = 9

18 - 9 =9

9 = 9

or

x - 2y = 3

x = 2y + 3

2(2y + 3 ) - 3y = 9

4y +6 - 3y = 9

y + 6 = 9

y =3

x - 2(3) = 3

x - 6 =3

x = 9

so (9,3)
