The leading coefficient would be 5

Answer:The coefficients are the numbers that multiply the variables or letters. Thus in 5x + y - 7, 5 is a coefficient. It is the coefficient in the term 5x. Also the term y can be thought of as 1y so 1 is also a coefficient.A number used to multiply a variable. Example: 6z means 6 times z, and "z" is a variable, so 6 is a coefficient. Variables with no number have a coefficient of 1. ... Example: In ax2 + bx + c, "x" is a variable, and "a" and "b" are coefficients.First of all, coefficent means the number standing in front of a variable.

So, according to the expression, 2 - 5x - 4 + 8, the coefficient is -5.

Why? because it stands in front of the variable.

A grain silo has a cylindrical shape. Its radius is 7ft, and its height is 33ft. What is the volume of the silo?

nikklg [1K]

We can use formula of volume of cylinder to calculate volume of silo.

$Volume\; of \; cylinder = \pi r^2 h$

Plug the given values of radius r=7 ft and height h= 33 ft

$Volume\; of \; cylinder = \pi (7)^2 (33)$

$Volume\; of \; cylinder = \pi (49) (33)$

$Volume\; of \; cylinder = \pi (1617)$

So the required volume of silo is [tex] 1617 \pi [\tex]

If sine ⁡theta equals negative 8/17 and the terminal side of theta lies in quadrant IV, find cosine ⁡ theta .

Lelechka [254]

$\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta=1\implies \cos\theta=\pm\sqrt{1-\sin^2\theta}$

Since $\sin\theta=-\dfrac8{17}$ , it follows that

$\cos\theta=\pm\sqrt{1-\dfrac{64}{289}}=\pm\sqrt{\dfrac{225}{289}}=\pm\dfrac{15}{17}$

where the sign depends on the location of the terminal side of the angle. Since the terminal side lies in the fourth quadrant, that means the cosine of the angle is positive, so

$\cos\theta=\dfrac{15}{17}$

Find the distance between the points (4,-2), (4,-5)

kiruha [24]

$\text{Given that,}\\\\(x_1,y_1) = (4,-2)~~ \text{and}~~ (x_2 ,y_2) = (4,-5)\\\\\text{Distance} = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2 + (y_2 -y_1)^2}\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~~=\sqrt{(4-4)^2 + (-5+2)^2}\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~~=\sqrt{0^2+(-3)^2}\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~~=\sqrt{0+9}\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~~=\sqrt 9\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~~=3$
