combining like terms in a polynomial is adding or subtracting together terms that have the same degree in the exponents.
example. 3x^3 + 5x^6 + 2x^3 +7x + 9x^6
= 7x + 5x^3 + 14x^6
The median of the stem-and-leaf plot is 23
Solve the equation to get values for x and y.
For example,
When x is 0,
y = 1
You have one point on the line (0,1)
Now, when y = 0,
x = 36/5 = 7.2
You have one more point on the line (7.2,0)
Plot these points on the x and y axes.
Draw a straight line joining these two points. ( I hope you can plot the points)
The answer you want is: Product.
