18) The degree of P(x) = (x-1)(x+2)(x+3)(2x-5) is4321
1 answer:
Answer:
degree 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The degree of a polynomial is determined by the term with the largest exponent for the polynomial in standard form
Given
P(x) = (x - 1)(x + 2)(x + 3)(2x - 5)
We need only consider the product of the leading terms in each factor, that is
x(x)(x)(2x) = 2 ← is the leading term in the expansion of the factors
with exponent 4
Thus polynomial is of degree 4

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
As the description of the statement is:
'<em>Five times the sum of a number and 27 is greater than or equal to six times the sum of that number and 26'.</em>
<em />
As
- <em>Five times the sum of a number and 27 </em>is written as:
- <em>greater than or equal </em>is written as:
- <em>six times the sum of that number and 26' </em>is written as: 6(x + 26)
