B: 1/2

C: 4 1/2

D: 18

R = kp/st
18 = 12k/(1/6 x 2)
18 = 12k/(1/3)
18 = 36k
k = 18/36 = 1/2

Why is the polynomial, 4x^2y + 5xy classified as a 3rd degree binomial?

Ronch [10]

The polynomial has two terms. The exponent of the first term is two. The exponent of the second term would be 1 because 5xy^1 is equal to 5xy.

(0,0), (1,5), (2,20), (3,45), (4,80) what's the rule?

yanalaym [24]

Hmm, seems to multiply by 5
wait, no

first is multiply by 5
2nd is multiply by 10
3rd is multiply by 15
4th is multiply by 20
seems to be

$f(x)=x(5x)$ or $f(x)=5x^2$
the rule is square the input then multiply by 5

What are the solutions of the equation x4+6x^2+5=0? Use substitution to solve

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

+ or - square root of 5, and + or - i

Step-by-step explanation:

(x^2 + 5)(x^2 + 1)= 0

Set each set of parentheses equal to zero:

x^2 + 5 = 0; x^2 = -5, so x will equal plus or minus i times the square root of 5.

X^2 +1 = 0; x^2 = -1, so x will equal plus or minus i times the square root of one, which is just i

Which expression is a difference of squares with a factor of 2x5?

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

${( \sqrt{3.5} })^{2} - {( \sqrt{1.5} )}^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference of two squares identity is

${x}^{2} - {y}^{2} = (x - y)(x + y)$

When we let

$\sqrt{3.5}$

and

$\sqrt{1.5}$

, we get:

${( \sqrt{3.5} )}^{2} - {( \sqrt{1.5}) }^{2} = (3.5 - 1.5)(3.5 + 1.5)$

This will simplify to give us the required factors

${( \sqrt{3.5} )}^{2} - {( \sqrt{1.5}) }^{2} =2 \times 5$
