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

A micro-photograph of a human hair shows the hair magnified 150 times. If the hair is
stepan [7]

Answer:

<em>The actual width of the hair is 20 / 150 = 0.13 mm</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Scaling</u>

Objects can be represented in a reduced or augmented size by using scaling which is basically multiplying or dividing by a constant factor. We use scaling in several applications of real-life.

The human hair is magnified 150 times by a micro-phtograph. This is the scale factor.

The hair can be seen 2 cm wide in the photograph.

Converting to millimeters, 2 cm = 2*10 = 20 millimeters.

The actual width of the hair is 20 / 150 = 0.13 mm

Can anyone show me how to divide 931/7
Inessa [10]
(You go from left to right)
(Dividend is 931, divisor is 7)
Step 1: Look for a number smaller than 9 that is divisible by 7. 7 is the only one which is smaller than 9 and is divisible by 7. Now that you know 7*1=7, you put 1 above 931 (Dividend)
 Step 2: You subtract that number from the number in tens place. And bring the leftover down.
Step 3: You repeat Step 1 and 2 until either you get a remainder of 0 or the remainder in smaller than the divisor (in this case 7)
(Therefore 931/7=133, quotient=133, remainder=0)
^Hope this helps.
