1) -12
ab is a times b. We plug in the numbers (-4)*(3) which equals -12.
2) 1
We plug in -4 for a, and 3 for b into the equation.
We get 2(-4) + 3(3)
2*-4 is -8. 3*3 is 9. We add them both, and -8+9 equals 1.
3) -14
We plug in -4 for a, and 3 for b into the equation.
2(-4-3)
-4-3 is -7. -7*2 equals -14.
<span>The annual depreciation expense is $9,000, calculated as follows Cost of the asset is $80,000 less $8,000 salvage value which reduces the cost to $72,000. Useful life is 8 years. To determine annual depreciation expense using straight-line method, divide asset cost of $72,000 by 8 years of useful life equals $9,000 per year.</span>
The answer too the problem is C
In order to figure this out you need to use
Descartes Rule. I attached a picture showing Descartes Rule. If the signs changes for when x is positive then the number of times it changes are the possible positive solution. If the sign changes when x is negative then the number of times it changes are the possible negative solutions. With that said the answer is A. View the picture I have attached for the possible + - and imaginary solutions.
Answer = A) One possible positive solution.
