What is the degree of this polynomial?

5 + 2s

Explanation:

We can rewrite 5 as 5s^0, since s^0 = 1 where s is nonzero.

Think of 2s as 2s^1

With those ideas in mind, the original polynomial turns into 5s^0 + 2s^1

Sorting the terms so that the largest exponent is first gets us the standard form 2s^1 + 5s^0

The largest exponent is the degree, so the degree is 1.

Side note: This trick only works for single variable polynomials.

answer:

step-by-step explanation:

here, the total dishes = 10

dishes having meat = 3 ( chicken, meatloaf and hamburger )

thus, the probability of having meat on the chosen dishes = number of dishes having meat / total dishes

=

therefore, the probability of not having meat = 1- the probability of having meat on the chosen dishes

=

=

=

⇒ option b is correct.
