-5x^3 + 2x^2 + 1

a coefficient is the number that is multiplied by the variable.For instance, the coefficient of 2x is 2....because 2 (the number) is multiplied by the variable x.

so in ur problem....there are 2 coefficients..-5 and 2.

** the number 1 is not a coefficient, it is a constant...a " loner " with no variables (letters) attached.

** and if u have just the letter...such as n, the coefficient to that is 1 but the one is just not written...it is actually 1n.

okay...I am gonna shut up now :)

PLEASE EXTRA POINTS I REALLY NEED HELP!!! 1. A ski lift carries Carol up a slope at a rate of 5 mph.

gtnhenbr [62]

Hi sorry for the late response, I know the assignment was due at 5pm today but anyway here is the answer.

System:

d= 5(0.75-t)

d= 20t

20t = 3.75 -5t

Define Variables:

d = how far Carol Skied

t = time it took Carol to go up/down

Solve:

20t = 3.75 -5t

20t + 5t = 3.75 -5t + 5t

25t = 3.75

25t/25 = 3.75/25

t = 0.15

Now we plug in the time into the Distances:

20t = 3.75 - 5t

20(0.15) = 3.75 - 5(0.15)

3 = 3.75 - 0.75

3 = 3

Solution as Sentence:

Carol Skied 3 miles

an inlet pipe and a hose together can fill the pond in 10 hours. The inlet pipe alone can complete the job in one hour less time

Annette [7]

Answer:

The hose pipe can fill the pond in 21.465 hours.

The inlet pipe can fill the pond in 20.465 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, a inlet pipe and a hose pipe together can fill the pond in 10 hours.

The inlet pipe alone can fill the pond in one hour less time than the hose pipe can fill the pond.

Let the hose pipe can complete the job in x hours.

Then the inlet pipe can fill the pond in (x-1) hours.

The rate of filling of hose pipe is $=\frac{1}{x}$

The rate of filling of inlet pipe is $=\frac{1}{x-1}$

The rate of filling of both pipes is = $\frac 1{10}$

According to the problem,

$\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{x-1}=\frac{1}{10}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{x-1+x}{x(x-1)}=\frac1{10}$ [ simplifying the fraction]

$\Rightarrow \frac{2x-1}{x^2-x}=\frac1{10}$

$\Rightarrow 10(2x-1)= x^2-x$ [ Multiplying 10(x²-x) both sides]

$\Rightarrow x^2-x= 20x-10$

$\Rightarrow x^2-x-20x+10=0$ [ simplifying ]

$\Rightarrow x^2-21x+10=0$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{-(-21)\pm\sqrt{(-21)^2-4.1.10}}{2.1}$ [ applying quadratic formula]

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{21\pm21.93}{2.1}$

⇒ x= 21.465, -0.465

x= - 0.465 does not possible, since time can not be negative.

∴x=21.465

The hose pipe can fill the pond in 21.465 hours.

The inlet pipe can fill the pond in (21.465-1)=20.465 hours.
