Consider the following polynomial. - 2x * y ^ 5 + 3x ^ 7 - 10x ^ 3 * y ^ 6 + 8x ^ 6 + 4 Which of the following statements are true? Select all that apply. polynomial has 5 terms. The leading coefficient is -2 degree of the polynomial is 7. The constant term is 4. polynomial is in decreasing degree order

Option a: polynomial has 5 terms.

Option c: The constant term is 4.

Explanation:

The polynomial is

Option a: Polynomial has 5 terms

From the polynomial, we have,

1st term =

2nd term =

3rd term =

4th term =

5th term =

Hence, the polynomial has 5 terms.

Thus, Option a is the correct answer.

Option b: The leading coefficient is -2 and the degree of the polynomial is 7.

The leading coefficient is the coefficient of the variable with the largest degree.

The degree of the polynomial can be determine by the adding the powers of the variable.

degree of 1st term = =

degree of 2nd term =

degree of 3rd term =

degree of 4th term =

degree of 5th term =

Thus, from these 5 terms the highest value is 9 which is the degree of the polynomial.

The polynomial has a largest degree of 9 and the leading coefficient is -10.

Hence, Option b is not the correct answer.

Option c: The constant term is 4.

The constant term is a term in which variable will not occur.

From the polynomial , we can see that the constant term is 4.

Hence, Option c is the correct answer.

Option d: Polynomial is in decreasing degree order

The decreasing degree order is the degree in which each term is no larger than the degree of the preceding term.

From the polynomial, we have,

degree of 1st term = =

degree of 2nd term =

degree of 3rd term =

degree of 4th term =

degree of 5th term =

where the degree of the 3rd term is not less than the 4th term.

Thus, the polynomial is not in decreasing degree order.

Hence, Option d is not the correct answer.

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)
