Usually, quadratic equations equal 0, and to find the solution you need to make x equal the value that, when added or subtracted to the rest of its bracket, makes 0. This means that your answer is (x + 5)(x - 2) = 0, because 5 - 5 = 0 and 2 - 2 = 0. I hope this helps! Let me know if you would like me to explain further :)

Answer:

"The expression represents a cubic polynomial with 3 terms. The constant term is -10, the leading degree is 3, and the leading coefficient is (-1/6)"

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the expression:

$-\frac{x^3}{6} - 10 + x$

First, what does that expression represents?

As al the powers of x are positive numbers, we can see that this is a polynomial, and the largest power is 3, so this is a polynomial of degree 3, also called a cubic polynomial.

How many terms are there?

The terms are the things separated by + or - symbols, is easy to see that there are 3 terms.

What is the constant term?

The constant term is the term where the variable, x, does not appear, here the constant term is: -10

What is the leading coefficient?

The leading coefficient is the coefficient that multiplies the term with the largest power of x, in this case, we can rewrite:

$-\frac{x^3}{6} -10 + x = (\frac{-1}{6})*x^3 - 10 + x$

the leading coefficient is:

(-1/6)

There is a part of the statement that I can't read, i suppose that there says:

"leading degree"

this is just the largest power of x that appears in the polynomial, in this case, is 3.

Then the complete statement is:

"The expression represents a cubic polynomial with 3 terms. The constant term is -10, the leading degree is 3, and the leading coefficient is (-1/6)"

I've been having problems with this for a while...

Like all problems that involve images within the question, we should definitely try to draw this out. In the picture above, I have done this.

Now, we can see that this is just a simple proportion problem. For every 2.5 cm of height of the flower, we are 2 cm from the opening, or aperture. For every 20 cm of height, how far are we? We can set up the problem like this:

20 ............2.5
-------- = ---------
...x ............. 2

where x is the unknown distance to the aperture from the flower. Now, we just need to get x by itself. A typical way of solving something like this is by doing "butterfly multiplication" which is really just a shortcut haha. Anyway, I can rewrite that equation ^ as:

20×2 = 2.5 × x

Then, to solve for x, we would divide both sides by 2.5. (If you don't know why that is, please let me know and I'll elaborate).

We would then have:

20×2
------- = x
2.5

Which then simplifies to:

x = 16

Try using the same logic for your second question, and if you get stuck, I'd be happy to help! please let me know if any of this doesn't make sense. :)
