Answer:
<em>4 + 7x – 2</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Equivalent Expressions</u>
Let's find out which expressions are equivalent by simplifying them. One of the expressions should be not equivalent to the other three.
Simplifying
Now for the second expression
The third expression simplifies to
Finally, this is the simplification for the expression
As seen, the only expression not equivalent to the other three is 4 + 7x – 2
Answer:
She would pay $2.80 in sales tax.
Step-by-step explanation:
This question can be solved by proportions, using a rule of three.
Megan paid $2.52 in sales tax on an item that cost $36.00 before tax. How much in taxes for $40.00 before taxes?
$2.52 - $36.00
x - $40.00
Applying cross multiplication
She would pay $2.80 in sales tax.
Answer:
x^4 -53x^2 +108x +160
Step-by-step explanation:
If <em>a</em> is a zero, then (<em>x-a</em>) is a factor. For the given zeros, the factors are ...
p(x) = (x +8)(x +1)(x -4)(x -5)
Multiplying these out gives the polynomial in standard form.
= (x^2 +9x +8)(x^2 -9x +20)
We note that these factors have a sum and difference with the same pair of values, x^2 and 9x. We can use the special form for the product of these to simplify our working out.
= (x^2 +9x)(x^2 -9x) +20(x^2 +9x) +8(x^2 -9x) +8(20)
= x^4 -81x^2 +20x^2 +180x +8x^2 -72x +160
p(x) = x^4 -53x^2 +108x +160
_____
The graph shows this polynomial has the required zeros.
check the picture below.
it cannot be -1, because is a seconds amount after moving.
