If the following is a polynomial function, then state its degree and leading coefficient. if it is not, then state this fact. f(x) = -13x^5 - 4x^4 - 1 degree: 5; leading coefficient: -13 degree: -13; leading coefficient: 5 degree: 9; leading coefficient: -13 not a polynomial function

By definition, a polynomial is an expression with more than one term. That is a monomial. We have names for 2-termed polynomials (binomials) and 3-termed polynomials (trinomials), but that's where the naming stops and they all are called polynomials after that. Our degree is the same as the highest exponent. So our degree is a fifth degree. The leading coefficient is the number that starts out the whole polynomial AS LONG AS IT IS IN STANDARD FORM. If our polynomial started with the -4x^4, our leading coefficient would NOT be -4 since the highest degree'd term will always come first in standard form. Your choice for your answer is the first one given. Degree: 5 Leading Coefficient: -13.

only 10/60 isn't equivalent

hope this : )

answer: c, the green line

step-by-step explanation:

there is no black line, eliminate b.

simple interest implies periodic payments, but the red line shows no payments, eliminate d.

simple interest has equal payments. if paid say every day, the graph is about a straight line (actually a stairstep).

the yellow line is not straight, eliminate a.

check: the green line is straight, answer is c.

simple interest with positive interest rate gives a straight line sloping up to the right. green line:

g(t) = $100 + ($200-$100) ÷ (20 years) × (t years)

= $100 + (4%/year) × ($100)(t years)

incidentally, the yellow line curving upward represents continuously compounded interest

y = $100 × 2^(t years / (14 assuming the yellow line hits $200 at 14 years. 2^0 is 1, so y(0) = $100; 2^(14/14) is 2, so y(14) = $200.
