1. Decide whether the function is a polynomial. If so then write it in standard form, state its degree, type, and leading coefficient f(x) = -5x -
10 + 3x^4 + 4x^2

try this. the error is that sariah was combining a constant (4.5) with a variable with a coefficient, thus getting an inaccurate answer.

this is also assuming that you meant to put an equal sign before the 4.5 + x 35 x

to solve this problem, the strategy used is just to solve it yourself and find the correct answer by combining like terms.

hope this !

there are many, many solutions to this problem.

here are 5 examples:

7555531, 7+5+5+5+5+3+1 = 31

7155553, 7+1+5+5+5+5+3 = 31

7735531, 7+7+3+5+5+3+1 = 31

7375531, 7+3+7+5+5+3+1 = 31

7335931, 7+3+3+5+9+3+1 = 31
