<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.

Answer:

${(2x + y)}^{2} - {(x - 2y)}^{2}$

$< {(x + y)}^{2} = {x}^{2} + 2xy + {y}^{2} >$

$< {(x - y)}^{2} = {x}^{2} - 2xy + {y}^{2} >$

${(2x)}^{2} + 2(2x)(y) + {(y)}^{2} - {(x)}^{2} - 2(x)(2y) + {(2y)}^{2}$

${4x}^{2} + 4xy + {y}^{2} - {x}^{2} - 4xy + {4y}^{2}$

${4x}^{2} - {x}^{2} + {4y}^{2} + {y}^{2}$

$= {3x}^{2} + {5y}^{2}$

We can first get the percentage of the emergency room visits that involves an injury.
6 out of 10.
This will be (6/10)×100 = 60%

So, if there are 930 emergency room visits, the expected visits <span>included a prescription for medication is;

60% of 930 = 60/100 × 930
= 0.6 ×930
