Answer:

-x^3+5x^2-8x+1, which is choice A

======================================

Work Shown:

f(x) = x^3 - x^2 - 3

f(x) = (x)^3 - (x)^2 - 3

f(2-x) = (2-x)^3 - (2-x)^2 - 3 ................ see note 1 (below)

f(2-x) = (2-x)(2-x)^2 - (2-x)^2 - 3 ........... see note 2

f(2-x) = (2-x)(4-4x+x^2) - (4-4x+x^2) - 3 ..... see note 3

f(2-x) = -x^3+6x^2-12x+8 - (4-4x+x^2) - 3 ..... see note 4

f(2-x) = -x^3+6x^2-12x+8 - 4+4x-x^2 - 3 ....... see note 5

f(2-x) = -x^3+5x^2-8x+1

----------

note1: I replaced every copy of x with 2-x. Be careful to use parenthesis so that you go from x^3 to (2-x)^3, same for the x^2 term as well.

note2: The (2-x)^3 is like y^3 with y = 2-x. We can break up y^3 into y*y^2, so that means (2-x)^3 = (2-x)(2-x)^2

note3: (2-x)^2 expands out into 4-4x+x^2 as shown in figure 1 (attached image below). I used the box method for this and for note 4 as well. Each inner box or cell is the result of multiplying the outside terms. Example: in row1, column1 we have 2 times 2 = 4. You could use the FOIL rule or distribution property, but the box method is ideal so you don't lose track of terms.

note4: (2-x)(4-4x+x^2) turns into -x^3+6x^2-12x+8 when expanding everything out. See figure 2 (attached image below). Same story as note 3, but it's a bit more complicated.

note5: distribute the negative through to ALL the terms inside the parenthesis of (4-4x+x^2) to end up with -4+4x-x^2

Ulleksa [173]
To represent this scenario, you will look at what is happening mathematically and represent it.

Beginning with 5, this will double each day, so 5 x 2 is the deposit.

Then, this amount will double, so (5 x 2) x 2 is the deposit.

Next this will double, and so on.

What is happening is that it is always doubling the previous day's deposit, so x 2 x 2 x 2, etc... you will use exponents to show the number of days that it doubled.

y = 5 x 2^x
