For this case we have that by definition:
- <em>The terms of a polynomial expression are those that are composed of coefficients and variables separated by signs of addition and subtraction.
</em>
We then have the following expression:

According to the definition, we can conclude that the first term is given by:

Answer:
The first term of the expression is:

<span>D = 180 * (n -2)
D = 180n -360
180n = D +360
n = (D / 180) + 2
So, the answer is "A"
And we can test this with a square, sum of angles = 360
n = (D / 180) +2
n = (360 / 180) +2
number of sides = 4
correct

We are given that the elevator is descending, so the coefficient of t must be negative. The elevator's initial position is 500 feet above the ground, so this is a positive value of +500. Therefore the only choice that fits these is h(t) = -5t + 500.
