Here we are given the expression:

Now let us equate it to zero to find x first,

Now subtracting 18 from the other side,

taking square root on both sides,
So we will get two values of x as ,


Now we can write square root -1 as i,
So our factors become,


Answer:
The final factored form becomes,

Hello!
The graph, (2/5)^x is an exponential function.
Since there is not a negative symbol in the front of the function, options A and B are incorrect.
For option 3 to be correct, there would need to be a negative symbol in front of the exponent, x.
So therefore, the answer option 4. (Also, I'll post a graph. :))
5 is the whole so they skated 2/5 less than the original whole
For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.
m: number of times you cut the grass
d: amount of dollars you earn.
We now write the linear equation that models the problem:
d = 12m
The slope of the line is 12, which means that each time you cut the grass, you earn 12 dollars.
Answer:
an equation for the number of dollars, d, you earn when you mow the lawn m times is:
d = 12m
