Answer: About 8.5 cubic yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The length of the garden = 16 ft.

The width of the garden = 34 ft.

The depth of the thick layer of topsoil on the garden = 5 inch

=\dfrac{5}{12}\text{ ft.}               [Since 1 foot = 12 inches]

The volume of a rectangular prism :-

V=l*w*h, where l is length , w is width and h is height.

The number of cubic feet of topsoil required will be

V=16\times34\times\dfrac{5}{12}=\dfrac{680}{3}\text{cubic feet}

Since 1 yard = 3 feet

1\text{ foot}=\dfrac{1}{3}\text{ yard}

V=\dfrac{680}{3}\times\dfrac{1}{3}\times\dfrac{1}{3}\times\dfrac{1}{3}=8.3950617284\approx8.50\text{cubic yards}

Answer:

"The expression represents a cubic polynomial with 3 terms. The constant term is -10, the leading degree is 3, and the leading coefficient is (-1/6)"

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the expression:

-\frac{x^3}{6} - 10 + x

First, what does that expression represents?

As al the powers of x are positive numbers, we can see that this is a polynomial, and the largest power is 3, so this is a polynomial of degree 3, also called a cubic polynomial.

How many terms are there?

The terms are the things separated by + or - symbols, is easy to see that there are 3 terms.

What is the constant term?

The constant term is the term where the variable, x, does not appear, here the constant term is: -10

What is the leading coefficient?

The leading coefficient is the coefficient that multiplies the term with the largest power of x, in this case, we can rewrite:

-\frac{x^3}{6}  -10 + x = (\frac{-1}{6})*x^3 - 10 + x

the leading coefficient is:

(-1/6)

There is a part of the statement that I can't read, i suppose that there says:

"leading degree"

this is just the largest power of x that appears in the polynomial, in this case, is 3.

Then the complete statement is:

"The expression represents a cubic polynomial with 3 terms. The constant term is -10, the leading degree is 3, and the leading coefficient is (-1/6)"
