We have that 3 * f(x) + 4 * g(x) = h(x) where f(x), g(x), and h(x) are all polynomials in x. If the degree of f(x) is 8 and the degree of h(x) is 9, then what is the minimum possible degree of g(x)?

9514 1404 393

  9

Step-by-step explanation:

Adding polynomials causes like terms to be combined. The sum cannot have a degree higher than the degree of any of the terms in the sum. If the degree of f(x) is 8, then the degree of g(x) must be 9 in order for the sum to be of degree 9.

answer: there are x+184 pages in olivia's book.

step-by-step explanation:

let the total number of pages in the book which olive has already read be x.

then if olive has 184 pages left to read, then the total number of pages are in olive's book= pages she has read+pages she has left to read

therefore, the total number of pages in olivia's book=

hence, there are x+184 pages in olivia's book.
