March, April, and May correspond to 3,4, and 5th months.  Each month the amount of money he saves increases by $40, so this is a constant rate of change, or constant velocity, which means that this is a linear equation.  Let y=the amount of money he has and x=the month number and model it with the line of form y=mx+b, where m=slope, or rate, and b=y-intercept...

y=40x+b, we know that he has $40 on the third month (February) so:

40=40(3)+b

40=120+b

-80=b so the equation is:

y=40x-80  (note that the domain is x=[3, +oo) only for the function to have meaining)

Now you want to know when he has $320...

320=40x-80  

400=40x

10=x

So he will have $320 on the 10th month, which is October.

(2a^2b + 3ab^2 - b^3) - (4b^3 - 3ab^2 -6a^2b)
skelet666 [1.2K]

<em>Hi there!</em>

<em>~</em>

<em></em>(2a^2b+3ab^2-b^3)-(4b^3-3ab^2-6a^2b)<em></em>

<em>Distribute the Negative Sign:</em>

<em></em>= 2a^2 b + 3ab^2 - b^3 + -1(4b^3 - 3ab^2 - 6a^2b)\\= 2a^2 b + 3ab^2 + - b^3 + -1 (4b^3) + -1 (-3ab^2) + -1 (-6a^2b)\\= 2a^2 b + 3ab^2 + -b^3 + -4b^3 + 3ab^2 + 6a^2 b<em></em>

<em>Combine Like Terms:</em>

<em></em>= 2a^2 b + 3ab^2 - b^3 + -4ab^3 + 3ab^2 + 6a^2 b\\= (2a^2 b + 6a^2 b) + ( 3ab^2 + 3ab^2) + (-b^3 + -4b^3) \\= 8a^2 b + 6ab^2 + -5b^3<em></em>

<em>Answer : </em>8a^2 b + 6ab^2 + -5b^3<em></em>

<em>Hope this helped you!</em>

The number of camera phones shipped globally can be modeled by the function y = 1.28e 1.31x where x is the number of years since
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer: 895 phones

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

The function : y = 1.28e^1.31x ; is used to model the number of camera phones shipped since 1997

y = number of camera phones ; x = number of years since 1997

The number of camera phones shipped in the year 2002 can be obtained thus ;

x = 2002 - 1997 = 5 years

y = 1.28e^(1.31 * 5)

y = 1.28e^6.55

y = 1.28(699.24417)

y = 895.03254

y = 895 phones
