The graph line will drop down by 12. meaning your initial cost (without any labor and material costs) goes down by 12, since your unit is in thousands
78
16 times 72 = 1152/(192/13) = 78
Since the problem is 2x^2-5xy-y^3 we first have to plug in what the x and y stands for, once you do that your problem should look like this:
2(-3)^2- 5(-3)(-2)- (-2)^3
Now take the parentheses away and when you do that your signs change.
2x3^2-5x(-3)x(-2)-(-2)^3
do it again with -5x(-3)x(-2)
2x3^2-30-(-2)^3
now do this with (-2)^3
2x3^2-30-(-8)
Now evaluate the power
3^2 becomes 9
2x9-30-(-8)
then change -(-8) to a positive since two negatives make a positive
2x9-30+8
Now multiply the numbers 2x9
18-30+8
Then do 18-30 which equals -12 then add 8
Now you are left with your answer:
<u>-4</u>
Hope this helps! :3
