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.

In the figure below, if segment BC = 12 cm and segment AD = 2x + 4, then x = 5.
shtirl [24]
The answer would be false.

Since the figure above is a square, that would mean all sides are equal size. If x=5, that would make segment AD bigger than segment BC.

Can any kind soul help me please​
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

p-q= -4

p=q-4

x^2 + px + q=0

=> x^2 + (q-4)x + q = 0

d= b^2-4ac

=(q-4)^2 - 4(1)(q)

= q^2 + 16 -8q - 4q

=q^2 -12q+16

given that D=16

q^2 -12q+16 = 16

=> q^2 -12q = 0

=> q^2 = 12q

=> q = 12q/q

=> q= 12

Therefore the value of q is 12 and the value of p is q-4 = 12-4= 8

Hope you understood............
