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.

If the endpoints of the diameter of a circle are (8, 6) and (2,0), what is the standard form equation of the circle?
zvonat [6]

Answer:

It is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The centre of the circle is at the midpoint of The diameter = (8+2)/2, (6+0)/2 = (5,3) so the left side of the equation is (x-5)^2+(Y-3)^2. Now we need to work out the radius:

The diameter = square root(8-2)^2+6^2) = square root of 72 = 6sqrt2.

So the radius = 3sqrt2 and r^2=18.

A kite string is 100 feet long from the kite to the ground. The string makes a 45° angle with the ground
slava [35]

Answer:

It's not very high

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle that the string and the ground maje, is acute, because it's smaller than a right angle. So, since it is an acute angle, it's not very high. It is about 30cm high.
