A polynomial is written correctly when the exponents are listed in order from highest to lowest. The highest exponent then dictates the degree of the whole polynomial. The first choice above is written in standard form from highest degree to lowest. Doesn't matter that we might skip the x-squared term or any other x-term, as long as they're in order from highest to lowest. The degree on that first polynomial, the one you're after, is 4 because that's the highest exponent, and there are 4 terms there. Terms are "bunches" of numbers and variables stuck together by multiplication and separated by + or - signs.
Answer:
52
Step-by-step explanation:
given that the number is a
The expression for Ten less than 5 times the value of a number is given by
5a - 10
10 times the quantity of 12 more than one-fourth of the number.
a/4 is one-fourth of number
12 more than one-fourth of the number
a/4 + 12
expression for 10 times the quantity of 12 more than one-fourth of the number. is given by
10(a/4 + 12) = 10a/4 + 12*10 = 2.5a + 120
Given that the above two expression are equal
equating them we have
5a - 10 = 2.5a + 120
adding 10 both sides
=>5a - 10+ 10 = 2.5a + 120 + 10
=> 5a = 2.5a + 130
subtracting 2.5a from both sides
=> 5a - 2.5a = 2.5a + 130 - 2.5a
=> 2.5a = 130
dividing both side by 2.5
=> a = 130/2.5 = 52
Thus, value of a is 52
Answer:
9 1/5
Step-by-step explanation:
3 2/7 * 2 4/5
Change to improper fractions
( 7*3+2)/7 * ( 5*2+4)/5
23/7 * 14/5
Rewriting
14/7 * 23/5
2 * 23/5
46/5
Changing back to a mixed number
5 goes into 45 9 times with 1 left over
9 1/5
