Answer: 5 nights

Step-by-step explanation: Mr. Gareth's Entertainments has a one time fee of $5.00, then charges $0.50 per night for a game, while Ben's Video shack charges $1.50 to rent a video game for a night. We can set up equations for both places. We can let x = the amount of nights the game is being rented for. Mr. Gareth's Entertainments = $0.50x + $5.00 because $0.50 is being charged every night and $5.00 was charged only once. Ben's Video shack = $1.50x. We can make the equations equal to eachother, so $1.50x = $0.50x + $5.00

We can subtract by $0.50x both sides to make it so only one side will have x. This will make the equation easier to solve. By subtracting $0.50x from both sides, we get $1.00x = $5.00. Since we made x = the amount of nights the game is being renmted for, we know x = 5, so it would take 5 nights.

We can double check. $1.50 * 5 = $7.50

$0.50 * 5 = $2.50

$2.50 + $5 = $7.50

The general form is ax²+bx+c=0,
so at least we know b has to be 0. None of the values match unless we multiply everything by 4. That leads to answer B, a=1, b=0 and c=20

Select the graph and the description of the end behavior of f(x) = x3 + 2.
Dmitry [639]
F(x)=x^3+2
we see the power is odd
the ends go in opsoite directions
we know that if the leadind coefient (number in front of highest power term) is positive, then odd powered polynomials go from bottom left to top right
and for even ones, it goes both up

for negative, odd ones go from top left to bottom right
for even, both go down

we gots
f(x)=1x^3+2
positive and odd, so it goes from bottom left to top right

as x approaches negative inifnity, y approaches negaitve infinity
as x approaches infinity, y approaches infinity
