When you want to write a polynomial, you should write the term with the highest degree first.
Here, it should go like this: d^3 + d^2 - d + 3
This means that the term which should be written first is the cubic term.
Let the length of one of the diagonals be 2x and the other be 2y, then
cos (76/2) = x/10
x = 10 cos 38 = 7.88 cm
sin (76/2) = y/10
y = 10 sin 38 = 6.16 cm
If 70% lay eggs, that leaves the remaining 30% to give live birth. 2700(0.30) = 810 species
