Question

....

Answer 1

Anyone...Please help me...

Answer 2

anybody....

Answer 3

polinomial with 5 terms as the x has highest power of 5.. i am not sure but think that is right .

Answer 4

Well you are a genius, so i guess its right

Answer 5

lol i am no genious.. there are alot of other people and better then me..

Answer 6

yeah, your right on that

Answer 7

These questions are just pain,

Answer 8

lol yeah they are.. word problems never my fav.

Answer 9

me too

Answer 10

a term is a bunch of things multiplied together. example 1 (simplest example)
3x^2y^4 another example

terms are separated by + or - signs

Answer 11

Yeah, i still don't understand what they mean by 5 term

Answer 12

1. Classify 3x^5 – 8x^3 – 2x^2 + 5 by number of terms.

that means count the terms. If you get 2 you have a polynomial (poly means "many" , nomial "measures" (think terms) with 2 terms. these are called binomial (bi for 2)
if you get 3 terms it is called a trinomial (tri for 3 (tricycle has 3 wheels, triangle has 3 angles)

if more than 3 terms people give up on the latin and just say polynomial with however many terms.

So to answer this one, count the terms

Answer 13

what did you get?

Answer 14

I'll start
3x^5 – 8x^3 – 2x^2 + 5
1 2 ..... keep counting...

Answer 15

yes

Answer 16

If they ask for the degree (much more important) the degree is the biggest exponent in all the terms. Here the degree is 5 because
3x^5 – 8x^3 – 2x^2 + 5
^
|
this term has the biggest exponent, which is 5. so the whole polynomial is said to have degree 5

Answer 17

Consider the leading term of the polynomial function. What is the end behavior of the graph?

4x^5 + 1x

This question assumes you know that people label the coefficient on the highest degree term "a". they label the exponent n

your generic polynomial starts off with

\( a x^n+...\)

Answer 18

it just told us to find the term. so do i have to find also the degree
Not for this question, but I am guessing they might ask at some point

Answer 19

For question 2, the "end behavior" is what number do you get when x is really big or really small (negative)

to answer you look at the highest degree term
if it is an even power example: x^2 or x^4 then this gets bigger as x gets more positive or more negative
if it is odd x^3 a big negative number becomes a large negative number
