<h3>Answer: 1</h3>

Explanation:

The original expression is the same as $17x^1 + 4$ since $x^1 = x$

The degree of any polynomial is always the largest exponent. This applies to single variable polynomials only.

Therefore, the degree of $17x^1 + 4$ is 1. This is a linear polynomial, and it's also a binomial since it has 2 terms 17x and 4.

The answer is 5:6:20 but can someone explain how plz?

Leya [2.2K]

The ratio of red to green is 5:6 which means that for every 5 red cars, there are 6 green cars

The ratio of green to blue is 3:10 telling us that for every 3 green cars, there are 10 blue cars.

The ratio 3:10 is equivalent to 6:20 after we multiply both parts by 2. This now says that for every 6 green cars, there are 20 blue cars.

------------------------------

Let's say we had 5 red cars, 6 green cars and 20 blue cars
Based on that info, we know that the ratio of red to green is 5:6
And the ratio of green to blue is 6:20 which reduces to 3:10

We don't reduce 6:20 to 3:10 however, since that would change the green count from 6 to 3. We want to keep the green count at 6.

So because there are 5 red cars, 6 green cars, and 20 blue cars in this example, and this example points to the proper ratios mentioned earlier, this means that the final answer is 5:6:20. This ratio cannot be reduced or simplified as there are no common factors (other than 1) for 5, 6, and 20.

You invest $5000 into an account that has a 2.7% annual interest rate and is compounded quarterly. Approximately how long will i

allsm [11]

Since the interest is compounded, we will have to use the compound interest formula.

We Weill plug 7500 in for A, because that's the amount of money that we want to have at the end of some amount of time.

5000 will go in for P because that's the starting amount.

2.7% will be converted into a decimal percentage form. You can do this by dividing by 100, which you will get .027, and then plug that in for r, the rate.

Since the interest is compounded quarterly, n = 4.

After a bit of number crunching, you will get to the point where you have to solve for an exponent. You can easily do this by using the natural log ln(). One property of logarithm is that you can take the exponent and place it in front of the log. Now you can divide both sides to separate and solve for t.

Svetlana's hair is 444 centimeters long. Her hair grows 1.51.51, point, 5 centimeters per month. Svetlana wants her hair to grow

GREYUIT [131]

For this item, I assume that Svetlana's hair is 4 cm long and she wanted it to be at least 7 cm long.
We let x be the number of months it will take for her hair to be 7 cm long. The sum of the product of x and the rate and the initial length should be at least 7. Mathematically,
1.51x + 4 ≤ 7
