The difference between two numbers is 8. Twice the number is 4 more than the larger number. What is the smaller number?

Answer:

If the two numbers are x and y, then:

x + y = 8

18 - 2x = 4y - 2.

When we subtract y from both sides in our first equation we get:

x = 8 - y, so:

18 - 2(8 - y) = 4y - 2

18 - 16 + 2y = 4y - 2

2 + 2y = 4y - 2

2y = 4

y = 2

Since x + y = 8, and y = 2, x = 6, and since 6 > 2, the larger number is 6.

Density is the measurement of the amount of mass per unit of volume. 
In this case we should calculate the density of prairie dog burrows on a square field. This is a surface charge density.It is defined as the total amount of units q per km^2.

Given the following polynomial find the maximum possible number of turning points. f(x)=x^11+x^10+x^12+x^9
11111nata11111 [884]
Turning points are inflection points

think
1st degree (linear) has no turning/inflecion points
2nd degree (quadratic, parabola) has  1 turning/inflection point
so
nth degree has n-1 turning/inflection point

this is 11th degree since highest power is 12
12-1=11
11 turning oints
