-12/4= -3

18/5= 3.6

-2.5= -2.5

1/5= .2

10= 10

Ordered) -12/4, -2.5, 1/5, -2.5, 10

The median is 1/5 since it's in the middle of all five numbers.

Hope I could help! :)

Based on its degree, what kind of polynomial is this? h(x)=4x^4+2x-5

MissTica

To estimate the degree of a polynomial, you just have to take a look at the highest power in the expression. Since here, that is number 4, then it means that this polynomial is a fourth degree polynomial, or quartic polynomial, if you want to sound smart. :)

Is the percent increase from 50 to 70 equal to the percent decrease from 70 to 50? Explain.

Galina-37 [17]

Answer

No. The amounts of change are the same, but the original amounts are different. The ratio for the percent increase from 50 to 70 is 20/50, or 40%. The ratio for the percent decrease from 70 to 50 is 20/70, or about 29%.

A roof drops 6 feet for every 3 feet forword,determine the slope of the roof the slope can be positive or negative

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

The slope is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the roof is decreasing in height as it goes forward, I know that the slope must be negative. The equation to find the slope is rise/run. The vertical change, or the rise, is -6 feet, so that value goes on top of the fraction. The horizontal value, or the run, is 3 feet so that goes on the bottom of the fraction.

Now our fraction is $\frac{-6}{3}$

If you simplify that fraction, you'll get -2.
