2n^2-24n+72
2(n^2-12+36)
2(n^2-6n-6n+36)
2(n(n-6)-6(n-6))
2(n-6)(n-6)
2(n-6)^2
Xy = -112
x + y = -54















x + y = -54
2 + y = -54
- 2 - 2
y = -56
(x, y) = (2, -56)
or
x + y = -54
-56 + y = -54
+ 56 + 56
y = 2
(x, y) = (-56, 2)
The two numbers that multiply to -12 and add up to -54 are -56 and 2.
Answer:
The cost in 2015 will be $283.45.
What is the reference point (t=0)?
d. The year 2005.
Step-by-step explanation:
The exponential growth model for the cost is the following:

In which C(t) is the cost after t years,
is the initial cost and r is the decimal inflation rate
In this problem, we have that:

What will it cost in 2015 assuming the rate of inflation remains constant?
2015 is 10 years after 2005, so this is C(10).


The cost in 2015 will be $283.45.
The reference point is the year in which t = 0, so the year 2005.
