Which polynomial is written in descending order?

Anarel [89]

The ascending or descending order of a polynomial is determined by the increasing or decreasing power of variable “x” respectively.

<span>The question is to find about the polynomial in descending order, so in this case, the 3rd option is correct, i.e. 4x^2 – 3x + 9 or 4x^2 – 3x^1 +9x^0. The power of “x” decreasing from 2 to 1 and then finally to 0.</span>

you roll two dice what is the probability that the sum of the dice is less than 5 and one dice shows a 2? ...?

astraxan [27]

<span>Lets say the 1st die rolled a 2 - there would be 2 combinations for which the sum of dice being < 5 : 2,1 2,2 Now say the 2nd die rolled a 2 - there would be 2 combinations for which the sum of dice being < 5 : 1,2 2,2 Now we want to count all cases where either dice showed a 2 and sum of the dice was < 5. However note above that the roll (2,2) is counted twice. So there are three unique dice roll combinations which answer the criteria of at least one die showing 2, and sum of dice < 5: 1,2 2,1 2,2 The total number of unique outcomes for two dice is 6*6=36 . So, the probability you are looking for is 3/36 = 1/12</span>

Micah needs $18,500 to purchase a boat. How much money will he need to invest today in a savings account earning 3.2% interest,

charle [14.2K]

We have that every quarter, he will get an 0.8% interest rate. We also have that there will be 14*4=56 periods of repayment. We have that by the formula, if there are n periods and x% is the interest rate, the capital is multiplied by (100+x%)^n.
Suppose Micah invests x money. Then, we have that after 14 years, the capital available will be C= $x*(1.008)^{56}=x*1.562$ . We have that C=18500$ and hence that 18500=x*1.562. Thus, solving for x we have that x=11841$.
Micah will need to invest only 11841$ in order to pay for his boat; this shows the importance of saving since he earns a lot of money, around 7k $.
