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

The IQR is the best measurement of spread for games and movies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because both seem to have outliers, we want to use IQR instead of standard deviation to determine the spread of data.

The bearing of Q from P is 150
Lynna [10]

Answer:

(i) see first attached diagram

(ii) QR = 22.67 km (2 dp)

(iii) 243°

Step-by-step explanation:

A bearing is the angle in degrees measured clockwise from north.

<u />

<u>Part (i)</u>

see first attached diagram

<u>Part (ii)</u>

The angles marked in blue on the second attached diagram are Consecutive Interior Angles.  In this case they add to 180° as the North lines are parallel.

The sum of angles around a point is 360°

⇒ m∠QPR (shown in red on the second attached diagram) = 360 - 150 - (180 - 15) = 45°        

To calculate the distance between Q and R (marked in red on the attached diagram), use the cosine rule.

⇒ QR² = PR² + QP² - 2(PR)(QP)cos(QPR)

⇒ QR² = 32² + 24² - 2(32)(24)cos(45)

⇒ QR² = 513.8839841...

⇒ QR = √513.8839841...

⇒ QR = 22.67 km (2 dp)

<u>Part (iii)</u>

We need to find the angle marked in green on the third attached diagram.

To do this, we need to find the angle marked in pink and the angle marked in orange, then subtract them from 360°

Pink angle = 180 - 150 = 30° (using the same consecutive angle theorem as before)

Orange angle (o) using the sine rule:

⇒ sin(o)/32 = sin(45)/QR

⇒ sin(o) = 32sin(45)/22.67

⇒ sin(o) = 0.9981652337...

⇒ o = 86.52868176...°

Therefore, the green angle = 360 - 30 - 86.52868176... = 243° (nearest degree)
