Answer:

See below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

(x - 1)(x^2 + 1)

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

= x^3 + x - x^2 - 1

= x^3 - x^2 - x - 1.

Leading coefficient = 1.

Constant term = -1.

Degree = 3. (because of the x^3).

What does a surface area/volume ratio of 6:1 mean for the cell’s ability to get the materials it needs that move across its surf

Kay [80]

<span>A small cell has a large Surface are/volume ratio and therefore can exchange molecules with it's external environment rapidly.

Here, we can see the ratio is 6:1, which is very large ratio, so it will transport very rapidly. Thus, it denotes that cell can easily get the material it needs that move across it's surface

Hope this helps!</span>

Julius needs to determine how much information needs to be given about an isosceles triangle to be able to draw an isosceles tri

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

Six cases are enough to construct more than one isosceles triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

An Isosceles triangle is a triangle in which at least two of it's sides are congruent.

If two of the three sides of a triangle are congruent, but the third side is of a different length, the triangle is isosceles.

If all three sides of the triangle are congruent, even though this is an equilateral triangle, it satisfies the condition of an isosceles, and it is ok to still it isosceles.

Julius might decide to split information for a better explanation, it doesn't matter the number of cases he has, but six cases should be enough to draw an isosceles triangle.
