What is the leading coefficient of the polynomial function? y=-x^4+4x^2

Mathematics
1 answer:
attashe74 [19]2 years ago
6 0
<h3>Answer:  -1</h3>

Explanation:

The given equation is the same as y = -1x^4+4x^2

The leading term is the term with the largest exponent, so it's -1x^4

The leading coefficient is the coefficient of the leading term.

In short, we circle the first coefficient we see. This is assuming that the polynomial is in standard form where the exponents decrease when going from left to right.

You have two biased coins. Coin A comes up heads with probability 1/4. Coin B comes up heads with probability 3/4. However, you
slega [8]

Answer:

3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the likelihood of an event.

No.of favourable outcomes/ Total no. of outcomes

Probability of coin selection : [Both coins have equal likelihood of being chosen]

  • Prob( Coin A Selection) = 1/2
  • Prob (Coin B selection) = 1/2

Probability of head & tail by both coins :

  • Prob (Head / Coin A) = 1/4
  • Prob (Tail / Coin A) = 1 - [ P (Head/Coin A) ] = 1 - 1/4 = 3/4
  • Prob (Head / Coin B) = 3/4
  • Prob (Tail / Coin B) = 1 - [ P (Head/Coin B) ] = 1 - 3/4 = 1/4

Probability of getting head by Coin A : Prob (Coin A) & Prob (Head/CoinA)  = 1/2 x 1/4   = 1/8

Probability of getting tail by Coin A : Prob (Coin A) & Prob (Tail/CoinA) = 1/2 x 3/4 = 3/8

Probability of getting head by Coin B : Prob (Coin B) & Prob (Head/CoinB)  = 1/2 x 3/4   = 3/8

Probability of getting tail by Coin B : Prob (Coin B) & Prob (Head/CoinB)  = 1/2 x 1/4   = 1/8

Probability 'The guess [head from coin B, tail from coin A] :

Prob (Coin A) & Prob (Tail/CoinA) or Prob (Coin B) & Prob (Head/CoinB)  

= 3/8 + 3/8 = 3/4

Find the designated sum of the arithmetic series.<br><br> S9 of 22+20+18+16+…
Artemon [7]

Answer:

126

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 22

d = 22- 20 = -2

n = 9

Sn = 0.5n(2a +d(n-1))

=0.5 * 9 (2 *22 +-2(9-1))

= 126
