The vertex is (-1.5, -6.75). So the x-coordinate is -1.5. Hope this helps and if so please leave a good rating and thanks. I really appreciate it. Have a nice day!
6/(x-8)=2/(x+6)
times both sides by (x-8)(x+6)
6(x+6)=2(x-8)
distribute
6x+36=2x-16
minus 2x both sides
4x+36=-16
miinus 36 both sides
4x=-52
divide both sides by 4
x=-13
A polynomial is said to be in standard form if it is written in the order of degree from highest to lowest from left to right.
The degree of a term of a polynomial is the exponent of the variable or the sum of the exponents of the variables of that term of the polynomial.
Thus, given the expression


has a degree of 6, and

has a degree of 6.
Thus, the exponent of the variable or the sum of the exponents of the variables of the next term of the polynomial must be less than or equal to 6 for the polynomal to be said to be in standars form.
Therefore, the <span>terms that could be used as the last term of the given expression to create a polynomial written in standard form are
