There were 72 more maple trees before the bug problem then after because there was 108 maple trees before the bug problem and 36 maple trees after the bug problem
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 9x³ + 2x² - 5x + 4; g(x)=5x³ -7x + 4
Step 1. Calculate the difference between the functions
(a) Write the two functions, one above the other, in decreasing order of exponents.
ƒ(x) = 9x³ + 2x² - 5x + 4
g(x) = 5x³ - 7x + 4
(b) Create a subtraction problem using the two functions
ƒ(x) = 9x³ + 2x² - 5x + 4
-g(x) = <u>-(5x³ - 7x + 4)
</u>
ƒ(x) -g(x)=
(c). Subtract terms with the same exponent of x
ƒ(x) = 9x³ + 2x² - 5x + 4
-g(x) = <u>-(5x³ - 7x + 4)
</u>
ƒ(x) -g(x) = 4x³ + 2x² + 2x
Step 2. Factor the expression
y = 4x³ + 2x² + 2x
Factor 2x from each term
y = 2x(2x² + x + 1)

Answer:
B. 1/9
Step-by-step explanation:
The positive square root of "x^2 - 4x + 4" is "x - 2". That value is already given to you, 1/3. Just square 1/3 to get 1/9.
Answer:
A) Associative Property of Addition
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>Associative Property of Addition</em></u>
Let A, B and C be any three real numbers
A+(B+C) = (A+B) + C
Given data
(20.4 + 3.75) + 4.25 = 20.4 + (3.75 + 4.25)
= 20.4 + 8.0
= 28.4
