Answer:

$x^2 - 3x -10 = 0$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Roots = -2 and 5

Required

Write the equation

We have that:

x = -2 and x = 5

Simplify further

x + 2 = 0 or x - 5 = 0

Multiply the results of the above

$(x + 2)(x - 5) = 0$

Open brackets

$x^2 + 2x - 5x -10 = 0$

$x^2 - 3x -10 = 0$

Determine if the expression 9y5 – 10y3 is a polynomial or not. If it is a polynomial,

Stolb23 [73]

I am going to assume that the equation was supposed to be $9y^{5}$ $-10y^{3}$

Answer:

It is a polynomial. It is a binomial and it has a degree of 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

A polynomial is an expression consisting of variables and coefficients, that involves only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and non-negative integer exponentiation of variables so $9y^{5}$ $-10y^{3}$ will be considered a polynomial.

A binomial is a polynomial with 2 terms.

The degree of a polynomial is the highest exponent in it which in this equation is 5.
