Because you are not adding the x's .When you add the coefficients, the variable comes along with it.
Answer:
Option D.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given expression is

It is a polynomial.
(x-c) is a linear factor of polynomial p(x) if p(c)=0.
Substitute x=-1 in the given expression.

It means (x+1) is not a linear factor of given expression.
Substitute x=-2 in the given expression.

It means (x+2) is not a linear factor of given expression.
Substitute x=-4 in the given expression.

It means (x+4) is not a linear factor of given expression.
None of the given options are a linear factor of given expression.
Therefore, the correct option is D.
Answer:
4:9
Step-by-step explanation:
To take the scale factor from distance to area, we square it
2:3 distance
Square each term
2^2 : 3^2 area
4:9
from what I know
A=4
B=3
C=2
and a plus adds 0.33 and a minus minuses 0.33
question wants us to find yearly average or average per 1 year
since these grades span over 2 years, we must divide the total average by 2
averagefresh=sum of fresh grades/4 grades per year
averagesoph=sum of soph grades/4 grades per year
yearlyaverage=(averagefresh+averagesoph)/2
freshman:
(C)+(B)+(A)+(C-)=2+3+4+(2-0.33)=10.67
sophomore:
(B+)+(A-)+(C+)+(B-)=(3+0.33)+(4-0.33)+(2+0.33)+(3-0.33)=12
averagefresh=10.67/4=2.6675
averagesoph=12/4=3
yearlyaverage=(2.6675+3)/2=2.83375
so it's about a
average
