$P(A)= \frac{12}{20} \cdot \frac{8}{19} + \frac{8}{20} \cdot \frac{12}{19}= \frac{12\cdot8}{20\cdot19} \cdot2=\frac{12\cdot4}{5\cdot19}= \frac{48}{95}$

What does “ Classify each polynomial by degree and number of terms” mean?

MrMuchimi

Okay so I'm going to try and explain it to you as best as possible. So all they are basically telling you is to give it a name. A degree on a polynomial is the highest exponent on it and the number of terms is the number of numbers. For example: -5x^3 + 2x^2 - 7
This is a 3rd degree polynomial with 3 terms. All you have to do is look at the largest exponent and that is your degree and the number of numbers.
