Two athletes, Jack and Jill, invite you invite you to participate in a 5K run with several hills. One hill can be represented by the function f(x) = 2x2 + 5. Another hill can be represented by the function g(x) = 2x2 - 3x + 4. Describe to Jack and Jill, using complete sentences, which operation results in the largest degree function and which operation results in the smallest degree function. Show your work to justify your reasoning.

Question

phi · Answer

the question asks about " which operation "  

what operations are they talking about ?

anonymous · Answer

im assuming polynomial operations. the unit is rational, complex, and polynomial s.

phi · Answer

Yes I would think multiplying polynomials (because that gives a higher order polynomial) and divide (to get lower order polynomials). But it is not obvious why you would multiply or divide these polynomials... so I assume they gave more background/info
