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

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.

A machine produces 576 units in 18 hours at this rate how many will it produce in 28 hours
olga2289 [7]

Answer: 896

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use a rule of three here.

\frac{576}{x}=\frac{18}{28}

Solve for x;

x=\frac{576*28}{18}

x=896

A pyramid has a rectangular base of length (3x + 1)cm and width xcm.
sergey [27]

Answer:

The dimension of the base of the Rectangle Pyramid is Length = 10 and Width = 8/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Rectangle Pyramid

Base Length = 3x + 1

Base Width = x

Height = 12

Volume = 96

Required

Dimension of the base of the pyramid

Given that the volume of the pyramid is ⅓ of the base area * the height.

This is represented mathematical as

Volume = ⅓ * base area * height.

Where

Base area = width * length

Base area = (3x + 1) * x

Base area = 3x² + x.

So,

Volume becomes

Volume = ⅓ * (3x² + x) * 12.

Volume = (3x² + x) * 4

Substitute 96 for volume

96 = (3x² + x) * 4

Divide both sides by 4

96/4 = (3x² + x) * 4/4

24 = 3x² + x

Subtract 24 fr both sides

24 - 24 = 3x² + x - 24

0 = 3x² + x - 24

3x² + x - 24 = 0

Expand

3x² + 9x - 8x - 24 = 0

Factorize

3x(x + 3) - 8(x + 3) = 0

(3x - 8)(x + 3) = 0

3x - 8 = 0 or x + 3 = 0

3x = 8 or x = -3

x = 8/3 or x = -3

Recall that

Length = 3x + 1

Width = x

For any of the above expression, x can't be less than 0; so, x = -3 can't be considered.

Substitute x = 8/3

Length = 3x + 1

Length = 3(8/3) + 1

Length = 8 + 1

Length = 9

Width = x

Width = 8/3

Hence, the dimension of the base of the Rectangle Pyramid is Length = 10 and Width = 8/3

PLEASE HELP WILL MARK BRAINLEIST
horsena [70]

Answer:

The picture shows the answer on the graph

Step-by-step explanation:

-2=-3/4×(x-6)

Distribute -3/4 through the parenthesis

-2= -3/4x+9/2

Multiply both sides of the equation by 4

-8=-3x+18

Move the variable to the left side and change its sign

3x-8=18

Move constant to the right side and change its sign

3x=18+8

Add the numbers

3x=26

Divide both sides of the equation by 3

x=26/3

Alternative Form- x=8 2/3 or x=8.6
