A lot depends upon your interpretation of "opposite."  Do you mean "reciprocal?"

If you give the number a, the reciprocal would be 1/a.  Is that what you mean?

Or do you mean "the number with opposite sign?"  If you give the number b, "the number with opposite sign" would be -b.

Consider both cases.  Choose a rational number (such as 7/8).  Find the reciprocal of this number.  Find the number with opposite sign of this number.

What is the leading coefficient of the polynomial function? <br><br> y=-x^4+4x^2
attashe74 [19]
<h3>Answer:  -1</h3>

Explanation:

The given equation is the same as y = -1x^4+4x^2

The leading term is the term with the largest exponent, so it's -1x^4

The leading coefficient is the coefficient of the leading term.

In short, we circle the first coefficient we see. This is assuming that the polynomial is in standard form where the exponents decrease when going from left to right.

A number n is increased by 8. If the cube root of that results equals -0.5, what is the value of n?
jek_recluse [69]

The cube root of (n increased by 8), or  ∛(n+8), is -0.5, or -1/2.

∛(n+8) = -1/2.  To solve this for n, cube both sides, obtaining n+8 = -1/8.

Eliminate the fraction by mult. all three terms by 8:             8n + 64 = -1

Solving for n:  8n = -65, so that n = -65/8.
