Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is isosceles then the legs are congruent.

Sum the 3 sides and equate to 52, that is

2x - 4 + 2x - 4 + x = 52

5x - 8 = 52 ( add 8 to both sides )

5x = 60 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 12

Find the degree of the polynomial <br> 5mn^4+7mn^2p^5+15np
user100 [1]

Answer:

The degree of this polynomial is "8"

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the degree of a polynomial is given by the degree of its leading term. Recall as well that the degree of a term is the maximum number of variables that appear in it.

So, let's examine each of the terms in the given polynomial, and count the number of variables they contain to find their individual degrees. then pick the one with maximum degree, and that its degree would give the actual degree of the entire polynomial.

1) term  5\,m\,n^4  contains one variable "m" and four variables "n", so a total of five. Then its degree is: 5

2) term  7\,m\,n^2\,p^5  contains one variable "m", two variables "n", and five variables "p". that is a total of eight variables. Then its degree is: 8

3) term 15\, n\, p  contains one variable n and one variable p. That is a total of 2. Then its degree is 2.

Based on the analysis above, and the fact that the term with highest degree is that of degree 8, the polynomial has degree 8.

given: y = 3x - 4. what is the x-intercept? (0, -4) (0, 4/3) (4/3, 0) user: what is the slope of the line whose equation is y -
aliina [53]
Y = 3x - 4.....x int can be found by subbing in 0 for y and solving for x
0 = 3x - 4
-3x = -4
x = -4/-3
x = 4/3...so the x int = (4/3,0)

y - 2/3x = 0....in y = mx + b form, the m represents the slope. So ur slope is -2/3

A ladder reaches a window 12ft above the ground and the foot of the ladder is 4.8 from the wall. How long is the ladder
Wewaii [24]
If you draw this, you'll see it forms a triangle, with the ladder as the hypotenuse. We're given the two side measurements, so we can easily use Pythagorean theorem to find the ladder length (x):
(12^2 + 4.8^2) = x^2 .... x = 12.92ft
