1. In algebra, like terms are terms that have the same variables and powers.

2. What is combining like terms? We call terms "like terms" if they have the same variable part.

3. Polynomials form a system similar to the system of integers, in that polynomials are closed under the operations of addition, subtraction, and multiplication. CLOSURE: Polynomials will be closed under an operation if the operation produces another polynomial. ... Polynomials are closed under subtraction.

Hope this helps

If the length of a rectangle is x-2 and its area is 2x3 – 8x2 + 2x+12, it’s width would be what?

hram777 [196]

Width would have to be a quadratic
Use long division to find the other factor of the cubic polynomial P (x).
P (x) factors in case it is reducible over R[x]
if it weren't then P (x) mod R [x] would be a field
otherwise you could use the Eisenstein Criterion.

3. From the table below, find Prof. Xin expected value of lateness. (5 points) Lateness P(Lateness) On Time 4/5 1 Hour Late 1/10

wariber [46]

Answer:

The expected value of lateness $\frac{7}{20}$ hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability distribution of lateness is as follows:

Lateness P (Lateness)

On Time 4/5

1 Hour Late 1/10

2 Hours Late 1/20

3 Hours Late 1/20

The formula of expected value of a random variable is:

$E(X)=\sum x\cdot P(X=x)$

Compute the expected value of lateness as follows:

$E(X)=\sum x\cdot P(X=x)$

$=(0\times \frac{4}{5})+(1\times \frac{1}{10})+(2\times \frac{1}{20})+(3\times \frac{1}{20})\\\\=0+\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{10}+\frac{3}{20}\\\\=\frac{2+2+3}{20}\\\\=\frac{7}{20}$
