1. What is the degree of the monomial 15x^3y^9 A. 12 B. 3 C. 9 D. 15 2. What is the difference 10c^3 - 8c^3 A. 18c^3 B. 2c^3 C. 3c^8 D. -80c^8 3. what is the sum 16x^3 + 9x^3 A. 25x^6 B. 25x^3 C. 7x^3 D. 24x^6 4. Find the difference (9a^4 + 2a^2 + 5) - (16a^4 - 7a^2 + 1) A. 25a^4 - 5a^2 - 4 B. -7a^4 - 5a^2 + 6 C. 25a^8 + 9a^4 + 6 D. -7a^4 + 9a^2 + 4 5. Multiply 9x^2(2x^2 + 8x) A. 18x^4 + 72x^3 B. 18x^2 + 72x^3 C. 11x^4 - 17x^3 D. 90x^4

So for 1. the degree is the highest power, for 2 thje difference means the value after sutraction. for 3 is the value after addition. for 4 again subtraction value, and 5 just multiply.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you remember how to do this?

OpenStudy (qwertyzxv):

@lugerm i thought the answer (for number 1) was 9 because the the numbers dont add and the highest one is the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The degree of a polynomial is the highest degree of its terms when the polynomial is expressed in its canonical form consisting of a linear combination of monomials

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So do you know the answer to number 1

OpenStudy (qwertyzxv):

C?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[3Y^915^3\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9 is the highest power

OpenStudy (qwertyzxv):

is number 2 B?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, since 10-8=2 and since they are to the third power we can subtract them simply leaving 2^3

OpenStudy (qwertyzxv):

is number 3 B?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct, again same degree just add 16+9, which =25, and the third so 25^3

OpenStudy (qwertyzxv):

@lugerm is number 4 B?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry was helping someone

OpenStudy (qwertyzxv):

its okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(9a^4 + 2a^2 + 5) - (16a^4 - 7a^2 + 1)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[9a^4 + 2a^2 + 5 -16a^4 + 7a^2 + 1\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[-7^4 + 9^2 + 6\]

OpenStudy (qwertyzxv):

im not sure how to do number 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since theres a -(-7) it becomes positive

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let me take a look

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[9x^2(2x^2 + 8x)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so when you multiply polynomials, you add the powers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[9x^2(2x^2) + 9x^2(8x)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now do you know?

OpenStudy (qwertyzxv):

A?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

18^4 + 72^3\[18^4 + 72^3\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ytes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did you get 100%?

OpenStudy (qwertyzxv):

i have 18 questions but itll only let me write 5 at a time :P
