Start with the general formula. The key word is difference. So the general formula is
D(x) = W(x) - R(x) Now substitute in the values for W(x) and R(x)
D(x) = 0.002x^3 - 0.01x^2 - (x^2 - 4x + 13) Be very careful about the sign in front of the brackets.
D(x) = 0.002x^3 - 0.01x^2 - x^2 + 4x - 13 Do you see what that minus sign did? It affected all 3 terms.
D(x) = 0.002x^3 - 1.01x^2 + 4x - 13 <em>Note: -0.01 - 1x^2 = - 1.01 x^2</em>
That gives you a clear cut answer
C<<<<< answer.
That sign is the worst part of the question. Make sure you understand what it did.
20x^2+50 = -40x^2+110x [ Taking x as the unknown positive integer ]
The value of Nina's house is $75,500. However, she owes $32,126 on her mortgage.
The asset on her house is $75,500
The liability on her house is $32,156
The net worth of the house is $43,344 (difference between assets and liabilities)
No, 50 is not a perfect square. A perfect square is any number that can be divided by any number to get the quotient as the same number AND the quotient must be rational. When you divide 50 so that the quotient equals the divisor, you will get an irrational number. Therefore, 50 is not a perfect square.
