The leading coefficient  is in the term with the highest degree.
So its -5.
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

-5

Step-by-step explanation:

The leading term in a polynomial consist on the highest degree term.  To get the highest degree term, we need to reorder the polynomial from left to right, starting with the highest degree term.

In this case:

f(x)=\frac{1}{2} x^{2} +8-5x^{3} -19x

reordering

f(x)=-5x^{3} +\frac{1}{2}x^{2}  -19x+8

So, the leading coefficient is the one with the leading term:

-5x^{3}

So, it is <em>-5</em>

What is the coefficient of x^4y^4 in the expansion (x+y)^8?
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

  C.  70

Step-by-step explanation:

In the expansion of (a + b)^n, the k-th term is ...

  nCk·a^(n-k)b^k . . . . . k = 0 to n; nCk = n!/(k!(n-k)!)

Here, we have n=8, k=4, so the term of interest is ...

  8C4·x^4y^4 = (8·7·6·5)/(4·3·2·1)x^4y^4 = 70x^4y^4

The coefficient of the term is 70.

at right is graph of this situation predict how the line would change to present the average cost of gas in dicember of 2005 whe
Lina20 [59]
The average cost represents the slope of the line of the graph.
Increasing the slope of the graph increases the steepness of the line.
Therefore, increasing the average cost of gas from $1.50 to $2.20 will increases the steepness of the line. (i.e. the line becomes closer to the vertical line).

7+n=−5 18=−3y−6 3/5x=18
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

1) n=-12

2) y=-8

3) x= 1/30

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 7+n=-5

7+n-7=-5-7

n=-12

2) 18=-3y-6

  -3y-6=18

 -3y-6+6=18+6

 -3y=24

 -3y/-3 = 24/-3

      y= -8

3) 3/5x=18

   3/15 X 5x= 18 X 5x

        3=90x

    90x/90= 3/90

        x= 1/30
