The degree of a polynomial is the highest power of its terms.
The power of a term is the sum of the powers of all the variables in a term.
A polynomial is written starting with the greatest power in standard form.
In the first case, the power of the first term is 3, the power of the second is 3 (2 from x + 1 from y) but the power of x has decreased so it is the second term, and then so on.
In the second case, the power is starting form 2 and then increasing to 3. This is incorrect.
Therefore, Marcus' suggestion is correct.
Answer: second option.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to solve this exercise, it is necessary to remember the following properties of logarithms:

In this case you have the following inequality:

So you need to solve for the variable "x".
The steps to do it are below:
1. You need to apply
to both sides of the inequality:

2. Now you must apply the properties shown before:

3. Then, rounding to the nearest ten-thousandth, you get:

We meet again
so first divide 60 by 5
this gives 12
then multiply 12 by 4
giving a final answer of 48
This is simple simplifying. If you need an explanation dm me.
here is the answer
x=-5
