Answer:

a) 3x - 11

b) 10x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The negative sign before the (x+5) means to subtract those values. Reverse the signs. Then combine like terms:

4x –6 –x –5. 4x–x–6–5

3x –11

b) Put all the x terms together.

Put all the integers together.

Add. Adding a negative is the same as subtracting.

4x+x+5x = 10x

+6-2 = 4

Combine them:

10x + 4

A cylinder has a radius of 5x + 4 and a height of 2x + 5. Which polynomial in standard form best describes the total volume of t

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume = pi·(r^2)*h

r = radius = (5x+4)

h = height = (2x+5)

Volume = pi·(r^2)

Volume = pi·(5x+4)^2*(2x+8)

Volume = pi·(25x^2+40x+16)*(2x+8)

Volume = pi·(50x^2+80x+32+200x^2+32x+128)

Volume = pi·(250x^2+112x+160)
