Answer:
OPTION B - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
What is the upper limit for the zeros of the function P(x) = 4x^4 + 8x^3 - 7x^2 - 21x - 9. Ans: 2 is an upper limit. Use synthetic division. and the remainder are all positive, 2 is an upper limit.
Answer:13746
Step-by-step explanation:
3 * 79 = find amount of pages on average per book
= 237
237 * 58 = find amount of pages written for 58 books
=13746
James Patterson has written approximately 13,746 pages
Note that there's a strict order here -> 2 close friends, then 1 non-close friend.
So, picking in order:
probability of picking the first close friend: 4/10
probability of picking the second close friend: 3/9
probability of picking the first non-close friend: 6/8
So, we get 4/10 * 3/9 * 6/8 = 1/10.
We have to use the function A(t)= a(1 +/- r)^t
So A is going to be the answer- the area after 8 years. t is going to be 8, because t is time. a is 2400 because that's the starting value. Finally, we're going to turn 5.75% into it's decimal form of .0575. That's going to be r, and because the area is decreasing, we will subtract r from 1.
Our new function is:
A=2400(1-.0575)^8
Simplify a little bit.
A=2400(.9425)^8
Bring .9425 to to power of 8 and then multiply by 2400 because PEDMAS.
A=1494.38366866
The rounded answer is 1494 kilometers squared.
