Our goal is to fit the given information into the slope-intercept form.
y=mx+b
We can place the slope in 'm.'
y= -7x+b
Then, input the values for the x and y.
2= -7(-5)+b
2=35+b
b=2-35
b= -33
'b' is the intercept, so now that we know that, we can plug in all the values and find our final equation.
y= -7x -33
Answers:
Part A: 12y² + 10y – 21
Part B: 4y³ + 6y² + 6y – 5
Part C: See below.
Explanations:
Part A:
For this part, you add Sides 1, 2 and 3 together by combining like terms:
Side 1 = 3y² + 2y – 6
Side 2 = 4y² + 3y – 7
Side 3 = 5y² + 5y – 8
3y² + 2y – 6 + 4y² + 3y – 7 + 5y² + 5y – 8
Combine like terms:
3y² + 4y² + 5y² + 2y + 3y + 5y – 6 – 7 – 8
12y² + 10y – 21
Part B:
You have the total perimeter and the sum of three of the sides, so you just need that fourth side value, which we can call d.
P = 4y³ + 18y² + 16y – 26
Sides 1, 2 & 3 = 12y² + 10y – 21
Create an algebraic expression:
12y² + 10y – 21 + d = 4y³ + 18y² + 16y – 26
Solve for d:
12y² + 10y – 21 + d = 4y³ + 18y² + 16y – 26
– 12y² – 12y²
10y – 21 + d = 4y³ + 6y² + 16y – 26
– 10y – 10y
– 21 + d = 4y³ + 6y² + 6y – 26
+ 21 + 21
d = 4y³ + 6y² + 6y – 5
Part C:
If closed means that the degree that these polynomials are at stay that way, then yes, this is true in these cases because you will notice that each side had a y², y and no coefficient value except for the fourth one. This didn't change, because you only add and subtract like terms.
Answer:
A.
Step-by-step explanation:
Not reasonable, Why did you put that as your answer?
The whole numbers add up to more then 4 cups.
They can only sit one way because they are still in a row
Or did you mean like how many different ways can they sit?
The formula for an infinite geometric sequence is the following:

Just substitute the values of

and r into the formula.



Therefore, the answer is 20.
