Constant: A value that doesn't change. Instead, it's a fixed value.
Variable: A symbol (usually a letter) standing in for an unknown numerical value in an equation.
Term: Either a single number or variable, or numbers and variables multiplied together. (Terms are separated by + or − signs, or sometimes by divide.)
Like Terms: Terms whose variables (and their exponents such as the 2 in x2) are the same. In other words, terms that are "like" each other.
Coefficient: A number used to multiply a variable.
Answer:
-3x^4 - 13x^3 + 14x - 7
Step-by-step explanation:
(5x^4 – 9x^3 + 7x – 1) + (-8x^4 + 4x^2 – 3x + 2) - (-4x^3 + 5x - 1)(2x – 7)
simplify multiplied terms
(-4x^3 + 5x - 1)(2x – 7)
(-4x^3+10x-8)
group like terms together
(5x^4-8x^4) + (-9x^3-4x^3) + (7x-3x+10x) + (-1+2-8)
simplify grouped terms
-3x^4 - 13x^3 + 14x - 7
First, lets convert them into multipliers:
The multiplier for a:
25% increase = 1.25
40% decrease = 0.6
40% increase = 1.4
Now to work out the overall percentage change, we just times all of the multipliers together, and convert it back to a percentage:
1.25 x 0.6 x 1.4 = 1.05
So the overall multiplier is 1.05
And a multiplier of 1.05 = a <u>5% increase</u>.
That means that the percentage change is + 5%
