You can only cut down a integer number of trees. So you might look at a few integer values for x. As x get large the –x4 term dominates the expression for big losses. x = 0 is easy P(x) = -6. Without cutting any trees you have lost money Put x = 1 and you get for the terms in order -1 + 1 + 7 -1 -6 = 0. So P(x) crosses zero just before you cut the first tree. So you make a profit on only 1 tree. However when x=10 you are back into no profit. So compute a few values for x = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9.
This is a linear function.
A linear function is a straight line that has a slope, and follows the formula: <em>
y = mx + b</em>
In which:
y = y
m = slope
x = x
b = y -intercept

<span>The result is 2x^2 - 3x + 2 .</span>
-6x + 2y = 8
isolate the y
first add 6x to both sides
2y = 6x + 8
then divide everything by 2 to isolate the y
y = 3x + 4
Hope this helps
Answer:
3000 square inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, scale this one up. Multiply each by 2. consider area of a trapezoid. A = 1/2 (b1 + b2) h. This will be 1/2 (20 + 30) * 20, so you'll get 500 square in. Then, multiply by 6 since Buffy is making 6 of them. 500 * 6 = 3000 square inches.
