1. for what constant k must f(k) always equal the constant term of f(x) for any polynomial f(x) 2. If we multiply a polynomial by a constant, is the result a polynomial? 3. if deg(f+g) is less than both deg f and deg g, then must f and g have the same degree?

1. k=0

2. yes, result is still a polynomial.

3. yes, f and g must have the same degree to have deg(f+g) < deg(f) or deg(g)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. for what constant k must f(k) always equal the constant term of f(x) for any polynomial f(x)

for k=0 any polynomial f(x) will reduce f(k) to the constant term.

2. If we multiply a polynomial by a constant, is the result a polynomial?

Yes, If we multiply a polynomial by a constant, the result is always a polynomial.

3. if deg(f+g) is less than both deg f and deg g, then must f and g have the same degree?

Yes.  

If

deg(f+g) < deg(f) and

deg(f+g) < deg(g)

then it means that the two leading terms cancel out, which can happen only if f and g have the same degree.

step-by-step explanation:

given perimeter: 28cm

length: 9cm

atp,

2(l+w)=p of the reactangle

2(9+x)=28

18+2x=28

2x=28-18

x=10/2

x=5

therefore width is 5 cm
