A biologist studied the populations of black bear and brown bears over a 10-year period. The biologist modeled the populations, in thousands, with the following polynomials where x is time, in years.

black bears: 2.3x^2 - 5.6x + 2.3
brown bears: 2.4x^2 + 7.2x + 0.97

What polynomial models the total number of brown and black bears?

a) 4.7x^2 + 1.6x + 3.27
b) 4.7x^2 - 1.6x - 3.37
c) 4.7x^2 + 1.6x - 3.37 <---- My Answer
d) 4.7x^2 - 1.6x + 3.37

nutty is that right bro? thanks
nuttykoko is wrong
Guys the math ALWAYS changes the questions up on unit and quizzes so.
you must put the answer, not the letter.
1. -6x^4
2. 9x^2 - 12x + 6; quadratic trinomial
3. 4.7x^2 + 1.6x + 3.27
4. 56x^2
5. 15p^2 + 7p - 2
6. 21x^2 - 30x - 24
7. 12x^2 - 28x + 15
8. 24pix^3+76pix^2+66pix+9pi
9. 64pix^2+32pix+4pi
10. 9x^2 - 42xy^4 + 49y^8
11. (x + 7) and (x - 4)
12. (x - 6y)(x - 8y)
13. (4x - 1) and (3x + 2)
14. (3x + 5) and (x - 6)
15. (d + 9)^2
16. (r + 3)(r - 3)
17. x, x - 3, and x + 6
18. y, y + 8, and y - 7
19. (g^2 - 2j)
20. 45x^2 + 20x + 1
These are correct. Trust me
No, my test is different
IDK if you have the same answer as me I took the test here are my answers BTW I have 18 questions on the test
1. B 10x^4
2. D -3y^5
3. C 6x^2 + 2x + 8 quad trin
4. A 4.7x^2 + 1.6x +3.27
5. D 71x^2
6. D 15h^2 + 26h - 21
7. B 40w^2 + 41w + 10
8. A 12x^2 - 28x + 16
9. B 50TTx^3 + 240TTx^2 + 168TTx + 32TT
10. B 16x^2 - 48xy^3 + 36y^6
11. B (x + 9) and (x - 3)
12. B (x + 6) and (x - 5)
13. D (x - 6y)(x - 4y)
14. C 5x + 4) and (2x - 1)

16. D 45x^2 + 20x + 1
17. C (w + 8)^2
18. D (t + 5)(t - 5)
I know there are a lot of Bs but it should be correct if you have the same test
it took me a long time to type this out if I get you close to a 100% may I get lots of like?
I´m checking if @Nuttykoko is correct. I´m really hoping that they, are correct. :)
I got 72.22% AKA 13/18 on the Unit Test. (Polynomials).

3- Write the polynomial in standard form. Then name the polynomial based on its degree and number of terms. 6 – 12x + 13x^2 – 4x^2
Answer: B- 9x2 – 12x + 6; quadratic trinomial
4- A biologist studied the populations of black bear and brown bears over a 10-year period. The biologist modeled the populations, in thousands, with the following polynomials where x is time, in years.

black bears: 2.3x2 – 5.6x + 2.3

brown bears: 2.4x2 + 7.2x + 0.97

10-

My test wasn´t loading the rest of the assignment, I´m really sorry!!
I really hope I helped, atleast a little bit because this is what I would want someone to do for me. :) I hope you all get 100s on your Unit Test. Have a great day!
