You have a lot of questions here, I can help you with a few of them.
When you simplify the polynomials, you put together all of the terms that have the same degree. That means the variables have the same exponents. The number of terms are the items separated by plus and minus signs.
Here are the answers for the first three:
1)
2)
3)
Answer:
3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
First of all, we need to calculate the slope of the line shown. This can be computed as:
where
is the increment along the y-direction
is the increment along the x-direction
We can choose the following two points to calculate the slope of the line shown:
(-3,2) and (0,-2)
And so, the slope of the line shown is
Two lines are said to be perpendicular if the slope of the first line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the second line:
Using 
, we find that a line perpendicular to the line shown should have a slope of
Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem, we can imagine that all the points
connect to form a triangle. The three point or vertices are located on the
pitcher mount, the home plate and where the outfielder catches the ball. So in
this case we are given two sides of the triangle and the angle in between the
two sides.
<span>With the following conditions, we can use the cosine law
to solve for the unknown 3rd side. The formula is:</span>
c^2 = a^2 + b^2 – 2 a b cos θ
Where,
a = 60.5 ft
b = 195 ft
θ = 32°
Substituting the given values:
c^2 = (60.5)^2 + (195)^2 – 2 (60.5) (195) cos 32
c^2 = 3660.25 + 38025 – 20009.7
c^2 = 21,675.56
c = 147.23 ft
<span>Therefore the outfielder throws the ball at a distance of
147.23 ft towards the home plate.</span>
