Classify each polynomial by its degree and by its number of terms.

Stella [2.4K]3 years ago

Answer:

a. Degree 4; 2 terms

b. Degree 2; 3 terms

c. Degree 3; 1 term

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, all you need is a few definitions. The "degree" of a polynomial is just the highest exponent you see, and be careful with this, because sometimes the exponents won't be arranged from high to low. In this case, they are. In a polynomial, a "term" is basically anything that sits between a plus/minus operation (i.e in 5x + 4, 5x and 4 are both "terms").

a. What's the highest exponent you see? 4. So the degree is 4. You have 5x^4 and 8 separated by a minus sign, so that'll be 2 terms.

b. The highest exponent here is just 2, so it's a degree 2 polynomial. Two minus signs, so count 'em up: 3 terms.

c. Highest exponent is 3, and since 9m^3 sits on its own, you only have the one term.

Note that something like 3abc is one term. 3a/b is also one term. So is 4ab^2cd. If it's being multiplied or divided, they're together like a family. Addition or subtraction separates terms; multiplication and division don't.

Jim worked 40 hours last week, plus 8 overtime hours at the time-and-a-half rate. His gross pay was $884. A. What was his hourly
marishachu [46]

Answer:

Hourly rate: $17.

Hourly overtime rate: $25.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent Jim's hourly pay.

We have been given that Jim worked 40 hours last week. So amount paid in 40 hours would be 40x.

We are also told that his over time pay is time-and-a-half rate that is 1.5x.

The amount earned for working 8 overtime hours would be 8\cdot 1.5x=12x.

Since Jim's gross pay was $884, so we will equate amount earned in 40 hours and 8 hours of overtime with 884 as:

40x+12x=884

52x=884

\frac{52x}{52}=\frac{884}{52}

x=17

Therefore, Jim's hourly rate is $17.

Overtime rate would be 1.5x\Rightarrow1.5(17)=25.5

Therefore, Jim's hourly overtime rate is $25.5.
