The leading coefficient  is in the term with the highest degree.
So its -5.

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>

Answer:

40 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

How do you solve each absolute value by graphing
saw5 [17]
Your question answers itself. You solve by graphing.

I like to subtract one side of the equation from the other, so the solutions are where the graph crosses the x-axis (the resulting function value is zero).

It can be useful to find the "turning point" of each absolute value expression (where its value is zero) and graph that and some points on either side.

If the dimensions of a pentagonal prism are quadrupled, then the surface area of the prism is multiplied by eight.
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

false

Step-by-step explanation:

the relationship between lengths/dimensions and areas is that areas are created by multiplying 2 dimensions.

when you quadruple (×4) the dimensions, then the areas are growing with the square of the factor (×4×4 = ×16), because the factor goes twice into the multiplication : one time for every dimension involved.

so, quadrupling the dimensions would multiply the areas by 16.

Add and/or Subtract the following, Simplify Completely
Margaret [11]
First, we need to equalize the denominator. If the denominator multiplies by (x+1), so does the numerator. If the denominator multiplies by (x-1), so does the numerator.
Look into my attachment at the second row.

Second, because the first fraction and the second fraction have the same denominator, you can join them into one fraction.
Look into my attachment at the third row.

Third, simplify the numerator.
Look into my attachment at the fourth to the fifth row

Fourth, simplify the denominator.
Look into my attachment at the sixth to the seventh row.
