Let the total number of sweatshirts sold be S and the total number of baseball caps sold be B
Total sales is the total number of sweatshirts sold times $20 plus the total number of baseball caps sold times 10. 
Equation 1: 20S + 10B = 2860
people bought 6 times as many sweatshirts as caps. Which means the number of sweatshirts sold (S) is 6 times caps sold(B) 
Equation 2:  S = 6B --- substitute S in equation 1 with 6B
=> 20(6B) + 10B = 2860
=> 120B + 10B = 2860
=> 130B = 2860 --- divide both side by 130 
=> B = 2860/130 
=> B = 22 --- is the number of caps sold. 
To find the number of sweatshirts sold we use equation 2
S = 6B --- but we know now B = 22
=> S = 6(22) 
=> S = 132 

therefore 132 sweatshirts sold and 22 baseball caps sold.

Name this polynomial by its degree: 3x² + 5x-3
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

\boxed{\textsf {The given polynomial is a quadratic polynomial. }}

Step-by-step explanation:

A polynomial is given to us and we need to make the polynomial by its degree . Here the given polynomial is 3x² + 5x -3 .

\sf\implies p(x)= 3x^2+5x-3

So here we can see that the highest power of the variable in the given polynomial is 2 . So the polynomial is a quadratic polynomial .

<u>★</u><u> </u><u>More </u><u>to </u><u>Know </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

When we equate this quadratic polynomial with 0 , it becomes a quadratic equation.

That is ,

\sf\implies p(x)= 3x^2+5x-3=0

This is done in order to find the zeroes of the polynomial. The zeroes of the polynomial are the values for which the polynomial becomes 0 .
