Answer:

The number that multiplies a variable in a term is called coefficient.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the algebraic expression shown below, terms are the elements that are separated by the operating symbols (plus or minus signs).

2x^2+3y+7xy+5

The above example has 4 terms 2x^2,\ 3y,\ 7xy, \text{and}\ 5

Variable:

The letters represent the variable in an algebraic expression. In the above algebraic expression <em>x</em> and <em>y </em>are the variables.

Coefficients:

The numerical part of the term is known as coefficient. In the above algebraic expression the coefficient of the first terms i.e. 2x^2 is 2 second term i.e 3y is 3 and third term i.e. 7xy is 7.

Hence, the number that multiplies a variable in a term is called coefficient.

<h3>A number that multiplies a variable in a term is known as a coefficient.</h3>

Given the term: 6x^3, we can identify three parts:

The coefficient, 6, is the constant that is being multiplied by the variable.

The variable, x, is a number with an unknown value, or with multiple potential values.

The exponent, 3, is the power with which the variable is being raised to.

If f(x)=3x-2 and g(x)=2x+1,find (f-g)(x) <br><br> A. x - 3<br> B. 5x - 3<br> C. 3 - x<br> D. 5x - 1
Nady [450]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

(f - g)(x)

= f(x) - g(x)

= 3x - 2 - (2x + 1)

= 3x - 2 - 2x - 1 ← collect like terms

= x - 3 → A

The diagram above shows a rectangle inscribed in a circle AB=10 and AC =12 caculate the total surface area of the shaded part
erastova [34]

Answer:

71.63 \: \: \mathrm{cm^2 }

Step-by-step explanation:

Once we know the diameter of the circle, we can figure out the problem.

The diameter of the circle = The diagonal of the rectangle inscribed in the circle

To find the diagonal of the rectangle, we can use a formula.

d=\sqrt{w^2 + l^2}

The width is 10 cm and the length is 12 cm.

d=\sqrt{10^2 + 12^2}

d \approx 15.62

The diagonal of the rectangle inscribed in the circle is 15.62 cm.

The diameter of the circle is 15.62 cm.

Find the area of the whole circle.

A=\pi r^2

The r is the radius of the circle, to find radius from diameter we can divide the value by 2.

r = \frac{d}{2}

r=\frac{15.62}{2}

r=7.81

Let’s find the area now.

A=\pi (7.81)^2

A \approx 191.625

Find the area of rectangle.

A=lw

Length × Width.

A = 12 \times 10

A=120

Subtract the area of the whole circle with the area of rectangle to find area of shaded part.

191.625-120

71.625 \approx 71.63
