A polynomial is written correctly when the exponents are listed in order from highest to lowest. The highest exponent then dictates the degree of the whole polynomial. The first choice above is written in standard form from highest degree to lowest. Doesn't matter that we might skip the x-squared term or any other x-term, as long as they're in order from highest to lowest. The degree on that first polynomial, the one you're after, is 4 because that's the highest exponent, and there are 4 terms there. Terms are "bunches" of numbers and variables stuck together by multiplication and separated by + or - signs.

Answer:
- 25 pounds cashews
- 15 pounds peanuts
Step-by-step explanation:
Let c represent the number of pounds of cashews in the mix. Then 40-c is the number of pounds of peanuts. The total cost of the mix is ...
10c +2(40 -c) = 7(40)
8c +80 = 280 . . . . simplify
c +10 = 35 . . . . . . . divide by 8
c = 25 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 10
40-c = 40-25 = 15 . . . . pounds of peanuts
25 pounds of cashews and 15 pounds of peanuts should be used in the mix.
Answer:
35%
Step-by-step explanation:
Its 7/20 so 0.35 and then times 100
As we move from point Z to point Y, x increases by 8 and y increases by 3. Thus the length of line segment ZY is sqrt(8^2 + 3^2) = sqrt(73), by the Pythagorean Theorem. That's approx. 8.54.
You could also leave your answer in the form √(8^2 + 3^2).
