2 3/8 - 1 7/8
Change to improper fractions
19/8 - 15/8 = 4/8 = 1/2

If these are mixed numbers, which I believe they are from the context, then the first step is to convert each mixed number into an improper fraction.
2 = 16/8 (sixteen eighths)
16/8 + 3/8 = 19/8
1 = 8/8 (eight eighths)
8/8 + 7/8 = 16/8
Then just subtract these improper fractions:
When subtracting fractions, only subtract the numerators.
19/8 - 16/8 = 3/8 (three eighths)
So the answer is three eighths (3/8)

Answer:

<h2>z = 6</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

4(z+1)=2(z-1)+18\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\\\\(4)(z)+(4)(1)=(2)(z)+(2)(-1)+18\\\\4z+4=2z-2+18\qquad\text{subtract 4 and}\ 2z\ \text{from both sides}\\\\4z-2z+4-4=2z-2z-2+18-4\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\2z=12\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\z=6

Determine if the function is a polynomial function. If the function is a polynomial function, state the degree and the leading c
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

Wikipedia defines polynomials as "<em>an expression consisting of variables and coefficients</em>."

You would think that F(x) would not be a polynomial, but you could think of it like this:

F(x) = 0x + 1050

So, yes, I suppose constant terms by themselves are polynomials, it's just that they only have one term and would not really be called a <em>poly</em>-nomial.

You should probably research some more just in case.

Simplify the polynomials by combining like terms 3x 5x 4x
lukranit [14]
Hello! Combining like terms is just a fancy way of saying add all these numbers together. As long as numbers have the same variable (in this case x) and the same exponent (they don't have any in this case), you can add them together like normal. So! 3x + 5x +4x is the same as 3+5+4. Your simplified polynomial is 12x. Good luck with the math homework!
