The price of a gallon of unleaded gas was $2.85 yesterday. today, the price fell to $2.80. find the percentage decrease

2.85(1-x) = 2.80

2.85 - 2.85x = 2.80

-2.85x = -0.05

x = 0.05/2.85

x = 0.0175

The price decreased by 1.75%

True

Step-by-step explanation:

 We know that the quadratics polynomials have this form:

You need to remember that the degree of a polynomial is given by its highest exponent.

You can observe in the quadratic polynomial that the highest exponent is "2", which is the exponent of the term

Therefore, since the highest exponent is "2", you should conclude that the degree of the polynomial is 2.

Then, you can say that a quadradic polynomial has degree 2.
