Answer:
The average length of a ladybug is . 3 to . 4 inches.
All so have to do is make sure to convert the negatives and positives of the second group of values since there is a subtraction symbol that you have to distribute to that section.
This would turn the expression into
3x^5 + 3x^2 - 4x^3 + x - 6 - x^3 - 4x^4 - 2x^2 + 10x
Then combine like terms and line all the values in order from greatest exponent value to least to get
3x^5 - 4x^4 - 5x^3 + x^2 +11x - 6
Hope this helped :)
You can write the fraction 0.0003840 a number of ways.
0.0003840 = 0.003840/10 = 0.03840/100 = 0.3840/1000 = 3.840/10000
The one we're interested in is the last one, which has one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. The power of 10 in the denominator is the 4th power (the number of zeros is 4). 10^4 in the denominator is equivalent to multiplying by 10^(-4) in the numerator.
Expressed in scientific notation,
X = -2
y = 5
