Don't get too involved in the 'simplify' part just yet.
It doesn't mean make the problem easier.
It means that when you have the answer, make sure it's in simplest form.
That's why it says "Simplify your answer".
Notice that that's the 2nd instruction.
There's nothing to simplify until you have an answer.
The first thing you have to do here is find the area of a triangle.
Do you remember that formula ?
I'll bet you do.
The area of a triangle is (1/2) · (length of the base) · (height) .
The height and the length of the base are given, right there
in the picture. Take those, and use them to find the area.
Once you've multiplied the binomials, don't forget about the (1/2).
Finally, you have a trinomial for an answer.
Put the big sweet cherry on top: Factor it !
I think that's the 'simplify' part.
You may be surprised.
I was when I worked it out just now ... just for you.
-2(-2)^4 + 5(-2)^2 - 4
-2(-2)= 4. 4^4= 16
5(-2)= -10. -10^2= 100 - 4= 96
96 + 16= 112
Answer: 112

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The equation of a exponential growth function is given by

where
P(t) is the population in Madison
t is the number of years
a is the initial value
b is the factor of growth
we have

substitute

Answer:
The answer is C.
Step-by-step explanation:
It cannot be between 3 and 4 because 2/3 is less than 1. You cannot end up with a larger number than 3 in this case. Similarly, it cannot be less than 2/3 because you are multiplying it by 3, which is larger than your first number.
Therefore, it has to be between 3 and 2/3 because you are taking two thirds of 3, which is 2.
