Answer:

When we add polynomials, we ADD the coefficients but keep the VARIABLES the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

"coefficients" are the numbers right next to a variable. "Variables" are the letters we use for unknown numbers in a math phrase(expression) or sentence(equation).

So you only add the number besides the variable when the terms have the same variable.

Example:

4x + 3m + 5x + 2m

= 9x + 5m

See we only added the 4 and the 5 bc they were both beside the x and we added the 3 and the 2 bc they were both beside the m. See image for another example.

the height h (in feet) of an object thrown vertically upward from a tower 144 feet tall is given by h=144+128t-16t², where t mea

Musya8 [376]

It takes 9 seconds to hit the ground.

Setting the equation equal to 0, we have:
0 = 144 + 128t - 16t²

Factoring out the GCF, we have
0 = 16(9 + 8t - t²)

Factoring out -1, we have:
0 = -16(-9 - 8t + t²)

In standard form, this is
-16(t² - 8t - 9) = 0

This is easily factorable; -9(1) = -9 and -9+1 = -8:
-16(t-9)(t+1) = 0

Using the zero product property, we know either t-9=0 or t+1=0; therefore t=9 or t=-1. Since negative time makes no sense, t=9.

What is the value of y^-5 and x^-3 for x = 2 and y = -4?

Ilya [14]

$a^{-n}=\dfrac{1}{a^n}\\\\x^{-3}=\dfrac{1}{x^3};\ y^{-5}=\dfrac{1}{y^5}\\\\\dfrac{y^{-5}}{x^{-3}}=\dfrac{1}{y^5}:\dfrac{1}{x^3}=\dfrac{1}{y^5}\cdot\dfrac{x^3}{1}=\dfrac{x^3}{y^5}\\\\x=2;\ y=-4=-2^2\\\\\dfrac{x^3}{y^5}=\dfrac{2^3}{(-2^2)^5}=\dfrac{2^3}{-2^{2\cdot5}}=\dfrac{2^3}{-2^{10}}=-\dfrac{1}{2^7}=\boxed{-\dfrac{1}{128}}\to\fbox{C.}$
