I FOUND YOUR COMPLETE QUESTION IN OTHER SOURCES.
 SEE ATTACHED IMAGE.
 The first thing that we are going to do in this case is to find the slope of the line for the function that simulates the amount of food of the elephant.
 We have then:
 m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
 Substituting any two points:
 m = (625-125) / (5-1)
 m = 125 pounds / day
 125> 13.5
 Answer:
 The elephant eats more than the tiger daily.

Let us model this problem with a polynomial function.

Let x =  day number (1,2,3,4, ...)
Let y = number of creatures colled on day x.

Because we have 5 data points, we shall use a 4th order polynomial of the form
y = a₁x⁴ + a₂x³ + a₃x² + a₄x + a₅

Substitute x=1,2, ..., 5 into y(x) to obtain the matrix equation
|   1     1    1    1    1  |  | a₁ |      | 42 |
| 2⁴  2³  2²  2¹  2⁰  |  | a₂ |      | 26 |
| 3⁴  3³  3²  3¹  3⁰   |  | a₃ |  =  | 61 |
| 4⁴  4³  4²  4¹  4⁰   |  | a₄ |      | 65 |
| 5⁴  5³  5²  5¹  5⁰  |  | a₅ |      | 56 |

When this matrix equation is solved in the calculator, we obtain
a₁ =      4.1667
a₂ =  -55.3333
a₃ =  253.3333
a₄ =  -451.1667
a₅ =   291.0000

Test the solution.
y(1) = 42  
y(2) = 26
y(3) = 61
y(4) = 65
y(5) = 56

The average for 5 days is (42+26+61+65+56)/5 = 50.
If Kathy collected 53 creatures instead of 56 on day 5, the average becomes
(42+26+61+65+53)/5 = 49.4.

Now predict values for days 5,7,8.
y(6) = 152
y(7) = 571
y(8) = 1631

(A) Product of -2x^{3}+x-5 and x^{3}-3x-4 is:

(-2x^{3}+x-5)(x^{3}-3x-4)

=-2x^{3}(x^{3}-3x-4)+x(x^{3}-3x-4)-5(x^{3}-3x-4)

=(-2x^{3})(x^{3})+(-2x^{3})(-3x)+(-2x^{3})(-4)+x(x^{3})+(x)(-3x)+(x)(-4)+(-5)(x^{3})+(-5)(-3x)+(-5)(-4)

=-2x^{6}+6x^{4}+8x^{3}+x^{4}-3x^{2}-4x-5x^{3}+15x+20

=-2x^{6}+6x^{4}+x^{4}+ 8x^{3}-5x^{3}-3x^{2}-4x+15x+20

=-2x^{6}+7x^{4}+3x^{3}-3x^{2}+11x+20

(B) Yes.

Product of -2x^{3}+x-5 and x^{3}-3x-4 = Product of x^{3}-3x-4 and -2x^{3}+x-5 because multiplication is commutative.

Commutative Property of multiplication says that a.b = b.a.

Thus, multiplication is same irrespective of the order of two numbers.

aalyn [17]

Answer:

the triangle is right

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem dictates that a^2 +b^2=c^2

6^2+8^2=10^2

36+64=100

100=100
