Answer:

leading coefficient: 2
degree: 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The degree of a term with one variable is the exponent of the variable. The degrees of the terms (in the same order) are ...

6, 0, 7, 1

The highest-degree term is 2x^7. Its coefficient is the "leading" coefficient, because it appears first when the polynomial terms are written in decreasing order of their degree:

2x^7 -7x^6 -18x -4

The leading coefficient is 2; the degree is 7.

Additional comment

When a term has more than one variable, its degree is the sum of the exponents of the variables. The term xy, for example, is degree 2.

What is the ratio of the intensities of an earthquake PP wave passing through the Earth and detected at two points 19 kmkm and 4

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

The ratio of the intensities is roughly 6:1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The intensity I() of an earthquake wave is given by:

$I = \frac{P}{4\pi d^{2}}$

where P: is the power ans d: is the distance.

Hence, the ratio of the intensities of an earthquake wave passing through the Earth and detected at two points 19 km and 46 km from the source is:

$\frac{I_{1}}{I_{2}} = \frac{P/4\pi d_{1}^{2}}{P/4\pi d_{2}^{2}}$

where I₁ = P/4πd₁², d₁=19 km, I₁ = P/4πd₂² and d₂=46 km

$\frac{I_{1}}{I_{2}} = \frac{d_{2}^{2}}{d_{1}^{2}}$

$\frac{I_{1}}{I_{2}} = \frac{46 km^{2}}{19 km^{2}}$

$\frac{I_{1}}{I_{2}} = 5.9:1$

Therefore, the ratio of the intensities is roughly 6:1.

I hope it helps you!

−30=5(x+1)minus, 30, equals, 5, left parenthesis, x, plus, 1, right parenthesis x =x=x, equals

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

x = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

−30=5(x+1)

Divide each side by 5

-30/5=5/5(x+1)

-6 =x+1

Subtract 1 from each side

-6-1 = x+1-1

-7 =x
