What is the leading coefficient of the polynomial F(x) defined below?

Answers

Answer: 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The leading coefficient is just the value before the variable with the highest power. So first we must find the portion in your polynomial that has the highest degree. The highest degree simply means the variable with the highest power. The highest power is two, so we will look at the coefficient of that portion. The coefficient of 2x^2 is 2 .

Ernest bought some cans of paint and 4/5 of a liter of special paint additive formulated to reduce mildew. Before painting his house, he used all of the additive to put 2/5 of a liter of additive in each can. How many cans of paint did Ernest buy?

Answers

Answer:

He bought 2 cans of paint

Step-by-step explanation:

If he put ⅖ in each, and ⅘ total, he would have had 2 cans

Quantity of special paint additive Ernest bought = [tex] \tt \frac{4}{5} \: of \: a \: litre [/tex]

Quantity of additive he put in each can = [tex] \tt \frac{2}{5} \: of \: a \: litre [/tex]

Number of cans of paint he bought :

[tex] =\tt \frac{4}{5} \div \frac{2}{5} [/tex]

[tex] = \tt\frac{4}{5} \times \frac{5}{2} [/tex]

[tex] = \tt\frac{4 \times 5}{5 \times 2} [/tex]

[tex] =\tt \frac{20}{10} [/tex]

[tex]\color{plum} = \tt2 \: paint \: cans[/tex]

▪︎Therefore, Ernest bought 2 paint cans.

Phyllis invested 32000 dollars, a portion earing a simple interest rate of 5 percent per year and the rest earning a rate of 6 percent per year. After
one year the total interest earned on these investments was 1820 dollars. How much money did she invest at each rate?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

$10,000 at 5%$22,000 at 6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount invested at 6%. Then 32000-x is the amount invested at 5%, and the total interest earned is ...

  0.06x +0.05(32000 -x) = 1820

  0.01x +1600 = 1820 . . . . simplify

  0.01x = 220 . . . . . . . . . .  subtract 1600

  x = 22,000 . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 100

  32000 -x = 10,000

Answer:

Diet and behavior

These awe-inspiring giants tend to be solitary animals—with the exception of females and their cubs—but at times they do congregate. Dramatic gatherings of grizzly bears can be seen at prime Alaskan fishing spots when the salmon run upstream for summer spawning. In this season, dozens of bears may gather to feast on the fish, craving fats that will sustain them through the long winter ahead.

Brown bears dig dens for winter hibernation, often holing up in a suitable-looking hillside. Females give birth during this winter rest, often to twins.

Grizzly bears are powerful, top-of-the-food-chain predators, yet much of their diet consists of nuts, berries, fruit, leaves, and roots. Bears also eat other animals, from rodents to moose.

Despite their impressive size, grizzlies have been clocked running at 30 miles an hour. They can be dangerous to humans, particularly if surprised or if humans come between a mother and her cubs.

Habitat

Grizzlies once lived in much of western North America and even roamed the Great Plains. These animals need a lot of space—their home range can encompass up to 600 square miles—so their ideal habitat is one that is isolated from development and has plenty of food and places to dig their dens.

Though European settlement gradually eliminated the bears from much of their original habitat, grizzly populations can still be found in parts of Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, and Washington State. They’re one of the most iconic residents of Yellowstone National Park. Many grizzlies also still roam the wilds of Canada and Alaska, where hunters pursue them as big game trophies.

Find the third term of a proportional if the first, second and fourth terms are 24, 36, 126

Answers

Answer:

The third term of a proportional will be: 84

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that if a, b, c and d are in proportion, then:

[tex]\:\:a\:\times \:d\:=\:b\:\times \:c[/tex]

In our case, we are given the first, second, and fourth terms are [tex]24, 36, 126[/tex]

[tex]a = 24[/tex]

[tex]b = 36[/tex]

[tex]d = 126[/tex]

and we have to determine the third term 'c'.

as we know that  if a, b, c, and d are in proportion, then:

[tex]\:\:a\:\times \:d\:=\:b\:\times \:c[/tex]

Thus,

substituting a = 24, b = 36, d = 126 to determine

[tex]24\:\times \:126\:=\:36\:\times \:c[/tex]

[tex]c=\frac{24\:\times \:\:126}{36}[/tex]

[tex]c=\frac{3024}{36}[/tex]

[tex]c = 84[/tex]

Thus, the third term of a proportional will be: 84

Solve the system of linear equations below, using substitution method.

8x+9y=368x+9y=36
3x+4y=163x+4y=16

Answers

Answer:

[tex]x = 0[/tex]

[tex]y=4[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]8x + 9y = 36[/tex]

[tex]3x + 4y = 16[/tex]

Required

Solve using substitution method

Make x the subject in [tex]3x + 4y = 16[/tex]

[tex]3x = 16 - 4y[/tex]

Divide through by 3

[tex]x = \frac{1}{3}(16 - 4y)[/tex]

Substitute [tex]\frac{1}{3}(16 - 4y)[/tex] for x in [tex]8x + 9y = 36[/tex]

[tex]8*\frac{1}{3}(16 - 4y) + 9y = 36[/tex]

[tex]\frac{8}{3}(16 - 4y) + 9y = 36[/tex]

Open bracket

[tex]\frac{8}{3}*16 - \frac{8}{3}*4y + 9y = 36[/tex]

[tex]\frac{8*16}{3} - \frac{8*4y}{3} + 9y = 36[/tex]

Multiply through by 3

[tex]3 * \frac{8*16}{3} - 3 *\frac{8*4y}{3} +3* 9y = 36*3[/tex]

[tex]8*16 - 8*4y +3* 9y = 36*3[/tex]

[tex]128- 32y +27y = 108[/tex]

[tex]128-5y = 108[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]-5y = 108-128[/tex]

[tex]-5y = -20[/tex]

Make y the subject

[tex]y = \frac{-20}{-5}[/tex]

[tex]y=4[/tex]

Substitute 4 for y in  [tex]x = \frac{1}{3}(16 - 4y)[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{1}{3}(16 - 4*4)[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{1}{3}(16 - 16)[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{1}{3}(0)[/tex]

[tex]x = 0[/tex]
