Answer:

6:5

Step-by-step explanation:

c = number of cats

d = number of dogs

d = c+6

Set up a ratio:

4/3 = d/c

Then replace d with c+6, so your equation only has one variable.

\frac{4}{3} = \frac{c+6}{c}

Cross multiply

4c = 3(c+6)

Multiply everything in the parentheses by 3.

4c = 3c + 18

Subtract 3c from both sides

4c - 3c = 18

c = 18

d = c + 6 = 18 + 6 = 24

If 2 more cats join, then you will have 20 cats and 24 dogs, so the ratio of dogs to cats will now be 24:20.  Divide each side by 4 for a ratio of 6:5.

Which terms could be used as the first term of the expression below to create a polynomial written in standard form? Select five
Alina [70]

Answer:

3r⁴s⁵

- r⁴s⁶

- 6rs⁵

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The expression given is:

+ 8r²s⁴ – 3r³s³

2) The choices given are:

s⁵

3r⁴s⁵

- r⁴s⁶

- 6rs⁵

1) A polynomial written in standard form has the terms ordered in decreasing order.

For example, 4x⁵ + 8x⁴ + 3x² + 27

2) The given polynomial has degree 6: + 8r²s⁴ – 3r³s³, and it can be ordered respect any of the two variables either r or s.

3)  Adding a new term as first term needs to have degree equal or greater than 6.

So, the candidates from the list are: 3r⁴s⁵, - r⁴s⁶,- 6rs⁵

4) If you use 3r⁴s⁵, the polynomial in standard form would be:

3r⁴s⁵ – 3r³s³ + 8r²s⁴ (as you see the degree of r is decreasing from left to right).

5) If you use - r⁴s⁶, the polynomial in standard form would be:

- r⁴s⁶ – 3r³s³ + 8r²s⁴ (as you see, the degree of r decreases from left to right)

6) If you use - 6rs⁵, the polynomial in standard form would be

- 6 rs⁵– 3r³s³ + 8r²s⁴ (as you see the degree of s is decreasing from left to right).

7) You cannot use s⁵ as first term because its degree is less than 6.
