301,931
^ This is the 100,000 place.
We round down because the number next to it is 0.
So we round do 300,000
This question is nasty. It sounds like you should be finding area of the figure you see. I'll do that first, although I don't think it's the right answer. (But it might be).
Area Trapezoid = (b1 + b2) * h / 2
b1 = 8
b2 = 12
h = 5
Area Trapezoid = (8 + 12 ) * 5 / 2
Area Trapezoid = 20 * 5/2
Area = 50 square feet.
The problem is that no lumber yard will cut that for you without charging you. The practical answer is 12 * 5 = 60 square feet is what you will have to buy. Then you cut out the triangles for yourself.
Yes, this is a polynomial, but a special form of a polynomial with just one term which is called a monomial .
Step 1: Make sure that the trinomial is written in the correct order; the trinomial must be written in descending order from highest power to lowest power.
Step 2 : Decide if the three terms have anything in common, called the greatest common factor or GCF. If so, factor out the GCF. Do not forget to include the GCF as part of your final answer.
Step 3 : Multiply the leading coefficient and the constant, that is multiply the first and last numbers together.
Step 4 : List all of the factors from Step 3 and decide which combination of numbers will combine to get the number next to x.
Step 5 : After choosing the correct pair of numbers, you must give each number a sign so that when they are combined they will equal the number next to x and also multiply to equal the number found in Step 3.
Step 6 : Rewrite the original problem with four terms by splitting the middle term into the two numbers chosen in step 5.
Step 7 : Now that the problem is written with four terms, you can factor by grouping.
Altho' I can easily guess what you're supposed to do here, I must point out that you haven't included the instructions for this problem.
I'll help you by example. Let's look at the first problem:
"Evaluate 6(z-1) at z-4."
Due to "order of operations" rules, we must do the work inside the parentheses FIRST. Replace the z inside (z-1) with "-4". We obtain
6(-4-1) = 6(-5) = -30 (answer.)
Your turn. Try the next one. If it's unclear, as questions.
