Multiplying a trinomial by a trinomial follows the same steps as multiplying a binomial by a trinomial. Determine the degree and

maximum possible number of terms for the product of these trinomials: (x2 + x + 2)(x2 – 2x + 3). Explain how you arrived at your answer.

Answer: Degree of polynomial (highest degree) =4

Maximum possible terms =9

Number of terms in the product = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

A trinomial is a polynomial with 3 terms.

The given product of trinomial: (x^2 + x + 2)(x^2 - 2x + 3)

By using distributive property: a(b+c+d)= ab+ac+ad

(x^2 + x + 2)(x^2 - 2x + 3)=(x^2 + x + 2) x^2+(x^2 + x + 2) (-2x)+(x^2 + x + 2)(3)\\\\=x^2(x^2)+x(x^2)+2(x^2)+x^2 (-2x)+x (-2x)+2 (-2x)+x^2 (3)+x (3)+2 (3)\\\\\\=x^4+x^3+2x^2-2x^3-2x^2-4x+3x^2+3x+6

Maximum possible terms =9

Combine like terms

x^4+x^3-2x^3+3x^2-4x+3x+6\\\\=x^4-x^3+3x^2-x+6

Hence, \left(x^2\:+\:x\:+\:2\right)\left(x^2\:-\:2x\:+\:3\right)=x^4-x^3+3x^2-x+6

Degree of polynomial (highest degree) =4

Number of terms = 5

What is the sum of the first five terms of a geometric series with a1 =20 and r =1/4?
drek231 [11]
The sum of the first n terms in a geometric sequence given the first term (a1) and the common ratio (r) is calculated through the equation,

                            <span>Sn </span>= (<span><span><span>a1</span>(1−<span>r^n</span>) / (</span><span>1−r)

Substituting the known terms,
                           Sn = (20)(1 - (1/4)^4)) / (1 - 1/4)
                           Sn = 26.5625

Thus, the sum of the first four terms is 26.5625. </span></span>

The length of the diogonals of a rectangular garden is 34m. If it's longer side measures 30m, find the perimeter of garden. ​
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

92 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the shorter side.

Let w = length of the shorter side.

w^{2}  + 30^{2}  =  34^{2} \\ w^{2}  + 900 = 1156\\w^{2}  =  256\\w = \sqrt{256} = 16

The perimeter is 2l + 2w = 2(30) + 2(16) = 60 + 32 = 92 m

A triangle has angle measurements of 61°, 84°, and 35°. is this triangle isosceles?
ch4aika [34]

Answer: No

Step-by-step explanation:

This is not an isosceles triangle because there are different angle measurements. The rule of an isosceles triangle is that it must always have two equal sides and angles.
