Use the formula: (a - b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab + b^2.
=> (5s - 3)^2 = (5s)^2 - 2(5s)(3) + (3)^2 = 25s^2 - 30s +9
The list of options is mistyped, so you must use the right list of choices and find which is 25s^2 - 30s + 9.
Answer: 25s^2 - 30s + 9
"Increasing" and "decreasing" are references to what the y-values do when the x-values increase.
Attached is a copy of all four tables, marked with whether the y-values increased or decreased on each step (and it also shows how much that increase or decrease was.
The only table that does this is the top right table in the attachment, which is your second table.
Answer:
$1612.80
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Sales Tax</u> would be 0.06 * 21,000 = $1260
<u>Property Tax:</u>
16.80 for every 1000, so how many "1000"s are there in 21,000? Simple, 21 of them.
So the property tax would be 16.80 * 21 = $352.80
Hence, total taxes (for the year) = 1260 + 352.80 = $1612.80
