Degree: 5 and leading coefficient: -13.
Step-by-step explanation:
You can see the explanation in the image.
I will like to mention that the question is a little obscure, and the explanation applies for the following function:

You always have to choose the highest power of x, in order to find the leading term.
Hello! For this question, you solve using order of operations, which you probably already have remembered as PEMDAS. Anytime a number is raised to the 0 power, that is equivalent to 1. 0.5^0 is 1. 250 * 1 is 250. x = 0 gives us the answer of 250. Now, let's solve for the number by the second power. 0.5² is 0.25. 250 * 0.25 is 62.5. x² gives us 62.5. Now, let's subtract the two numbers together. 250 - 62.5 is 187.5. Because the number is decreasing, the slope is negative, so the answer is -187.5. Your answer is correct.
1 : 1.71 : 2.43
Step-by-step explanation:
What divided by 7= 1?
7/7 = 1
So use that answer for the other two dolls.
12/7 = 1.71
17/7 = 2.43
1 : 1.71 : 2.43
Have the same ratio as
7 : 12 : 17
