All that is needed is a single counter-example.

One counter-example is to multiply the monomial x^3 with the binomial x^7-10x^4

We then get...

x^3*(x^7-10x^4) = x^3*x^7 + x^3*(-10x^4)

x^3*(x^7-10x^4) = x^10 - x^7

The result we get is a binomial as there are still only two terms here. We would need three terms to have a trinomial.

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each term in the binomial ( there are 2 terms, by definition) is multiplied by the single term (monomial) so the answer will be  another binomial.

For example:

2x (x - 6)

= 2x^2 - 12x.

Can anyone please help me with this question? : A target consists of two concentric circles. The larger circle has diameter 1m.
11111nata11111 [884]
We know that
if  <span>the probability of hitting the blue circle is the same as the probability of hitting the green region
then 
the area of the blue circle is equal to the area of the green region

Let
x----> diameter of the blue circle

area of the blue circle=pi*(x/2)</span>²----> (pi/4)*x² m²-----> equation 1

area of the green region=area of the larger circle-area of the blue circle
area of the green region=pi*(1/2)²-(pi/4)*x²
=(pi/4)-(pi/4)*x² m²----> equation 2

equate equation 1 and equation 2
(pi/4)*x²=(pi/4)-(pi/4)*x² -----> divide by (pi/4)---> x²=1-x²
2x²=1-----> x²=1/2----> x=1/√2-----> x=√2/2 m

the diameter of the blue circle is √2/2 m

A museum has an aquarium in the shape of a right rectangular prism that is 22.9 meters long 7.5 meters wide and 4.6 meters high
V125BC [204]
The volume equals: Height * Width * Long
therefore the volume = 22.9*7.5*4.6 = 790 cubic meter.

Answer:

B. $444.44  

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Andrew buys a home entertainment system from an electronics store offering 0% interest for 18 months. This means if she pays monthly payment she will not be charged with any interest for 18 months.

As Andrew will make 18 payments in 18 months, so payment for each month can be found by dividing total cost of entertainment system by 18.

\text{Minimum monthly payment}=\frac{\$8000}{18}

\text{Minimum monthly payment}=\$444.44

Therefore, Andrew should make a monthly payment of $444.44 to avoid paying deferred interest charges for the $8,000 system. and option B is the correct choice.
