Answer:
their current cash flow is negative since their expenses are higher than their income:
- monthly net income = $56,000 / 12 = $4,667
- monthly expenses = $1,500 + $3,500 = $5,000
- monthly cash flow = ($333)
they have 3 options:
- Option 1 (which I personally dislike) is that Neil contributes $4,000 less per year to his retirement account in order to balance their net income and expenses. The problem is that once he retires, his income will be much lower.
- Option 2 is that they lower their expenses a little bit, only enough to balance their cash flows.
- Option 3 is that Nancy gets a part time job, maybe a couple of hours per day which will allow her to earn money that can be used to cover some expenses.
Personally I believe that option 2 is the best, but if they definitely cannot lower their monthly expenses, then option 3 would probably fit them.
Answer:
f(x)=4x
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's look at the progression of f(x) values as the x value goes up. The x value goes up in steps of 1, but the f(x) value goes up in steps of 4. This means that the f(x) value grows 4 times faster than the x value. Comparing them side by side, you can see that each f(x) value is indeed 4 times larger than the corresponding x value. Therefore, the descriptive function is f(x)=4x.
"The square of x" means x^2, so we can eliminate options A and D.
"product of 8 and x" means that 8 and x are multiplied together (like 8x)
If x^2 is increased by 8x, we are adding x^2 and 8x together.
<span>B. x^2 + 8x</span>
Use the distributive property. 2b-2c^2=x
