Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = -x^3 + x^2
Let x = -2
Evaluate the expression
f(-2) = -(-2)^3 + (-2)^2
= - (-2)*(-2) * (-2) + ( -2) * (-2)
= -(-8) + ( 4)
= 8 + 4
= 12
The nephew would need to use division to isolate x giving him $66.50 to spend
Remark
This may be a little confusing, but because they are travelling in opposite directions, the distances add when you want to get how far apart they are.
d1 + d2 = 1541
Equation
Let the time this happens = t
d1 = 323*t
d2 = 347*t
323*t + 347*t = 1541 Combine like terms on the left.
670t = 1541 Divide by 670
t = 1541/670
t = 2.3 hours pass before the distance of 1541 miles are between the two planes. You might need the answer to be 2 hours 18 minutes.
31=2y-5
Add 5 on both -5+5 which cancels out and 31+5 which is 36 and then divide 36 by 2 which equals to 18.
So y=18 hope this helped (':
