Answer:
-p^4 + 4p^3 - 5p^2 + 8p - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Distribute the -p^2 to the p^2 and the 2. Then distribute the 4p to the p^2 and the 2. Then distribute the -3 to the p^2 and the 2.
When we expand:
-p^4 - 2p^2
+ 4p^3 + 8p
-3p^2 - 6
Group, ordering from highest to lowest "degree" (exponent).
-p^4 + 4p^3 - 2p^2 - 3p^2 + 8p - 6
Combine like terms.
-p^4 + 4p^3 - 5p^2 + 8p - 6
<span>f(x) = x^2 - 12x + 7
First, separate the first two terms from the constant
f(x) = (x^2 - 12x) + 7
Next, half the coefficient of second term in the parenthesis (12x) and square the result. Make sure to subtract outside the parenthesis what you added inside so that the equation stays equal.
f(x) = (x^2 - 12x + 36) + 7 - 36
f(x) = </span><span>(x^2 - 12x + 36) - 29
Now, just factor the trinomial inside the parenthesis, lemme know in a comment if you don't know how to do this and I'll explain.
f(x) = (x(x - 6) -6(x - 6)) - 29
f(x) = (x - 6)^2 - 29
The polynomial is now in vertex form, and the value of a, as you can see, is 6.

The given expression is,
y = f(x)
This mean that the value of the function is the value that correponds to the y value for a particular x.
From the graph we can see that,

Thus, f(0) = 2.
1) 2m - 16 = 2m + 4
2m - 2m = 4 + 16
0 = 20 (no solution)
2) -4(r + 2) = 4(2 - 2r)
-(r + 2) = 2 - 2r
-r - 2 = 2 - 2r
-r + 2r = 2 + 2
r = 4
3) 12(5 + 2y) = 4y - (6 - 9y)
60 + 24y = 4y - 6 + 9y
60 + 24y = 13y - 6
24y - 13y = -6 - 60
11y = -66
y = -6
X*1.45?
This would mean that x is the original price, then 1.45 would be adding the 45% tax to the original price.
