Its factors would be
(x+2)*(x-1)*(x+0)
x^2 +x -2
x^3 + 0 + x^2 + 0 -2x +0
Equation: x^3 + x^2 -2x
f(2) = 8 + 4 -4
2x^3 + 2x^2 -4x +0
f(2) = 16 + 8 -8
3x^3 + 3x^2 -6x +0
f(2) = 24 +12 -12
4x^3 + 4x^2 -8x +0
f(2) = 32 +16 -16
So, the equation is:
4x^3 + 4x^2 -8x = 0
The first term is -43.
Explanation:
an = a + (n - 1)d
a12 = a + 11d = 56, first equation
a21 = a + 20d = 101, second equation
Subtract the second equation from the first equation, cancelling +a and -a
11d - 20d = 56 - 101
-9d = -45
d = 5
Subtitute d into the first equation
a + 99 = 56
a = -43
a refers to the first term, hence the first term is -43.
The second answer i think is the best one
Answer:
Step 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step of the problem instantly shows a mistake. The gloves are 4% off of $30, not $4 off. Instead, the first step should be $30 - $1.2
