Alright, this one is a little interesting... Let's perform some tests to figure out what is happening:
f(-10) = -(1/(-10)^3) = -(1/-1000) = 1/1000  (positive)
f(-5) = -(1/(-5)^3) = -(1/-125) = 1/125 (positive, bigger than the last one)
f(-1) = -(1/(-1)^3) = -(1/-1) = 1 (positive, bigger than the last one)
f(-0.1) = -(1/(-0.1)^3) = -(1/-0.001) = 1/0.001 = 1000 (positive, bigger than the last one)
f(0) = -(1/0^3) = undefined!
f(0.1) = -(1/(0.1)^3) = -(1/0.001) = -1/0.001 = -1000 (negative)
f(1) = -(1/1^3) = -(1/1) = -1 (negative, but bigger than last one)

It's a little confusing with the undefined part at x = 0. What I can say is this, it is increasing from -10 up to 0, something weird happens at 0 and it resets, and starts increasing from 0 up to 0.1. 

I guess A would be the best answer?

The sum of two complementary angles is 90°. For one pair of complementary angles, the measure of the first angle is 15 less than
steposvetlana [31]

let 2nd angle = x

 then 1st angle = 2x-15

 then you have 90 = x + 2x-15

2x +x = 3x

 so now 90 = 3x-15

add 15 to each side

105=3x

x = 105/3 = 35

1st angle = 35 degrees

 2nd angle = 2(35) - 15 = 70-15 = 65

Write a polynomial function that meets the stated conditions.The zeros are −1, 2, and 7.
kondaur [170]

Answer:

A polynomial function that meet the conditions is x³ - 8x² + 5x + 14 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Let´s start writting a generic factored function. In this case, the function has 3 zeros so that the factored form will have 3 terms:

(x + a)(x + b)(x + c) = 0

For this expression to be 0, either (x+a) = 0 or (x+b) = 0 or (x+c) = 0

Then:

x + a = 0 ⇒ x = -a

x + b = 0 ⇒ x = -b

x + c = 0 ⇒ x = -c

Then, the values "a", "b" and "c" are equal to the zeros of the function but with opposite sign. Then, in our case:

a = 1

b = -2

c = -7

Then, the polynomial fuction will be:

(x + 1)(x - 2)(x - 7) = 0

Apply distributive property:

(x² - 2x + x -2)(x -7) = 0

(x² - x - 2)(x - 7)

x³ - x² - 2x - 7x² + 7x + 14 = 0

x³ - 8x² + 5x + 14 = 0

Then, a polynomial function that meets the conditions is:

x³ - 8x² + 5x + 14 = 0

Have a nice day!

before leaving to visit Mexico Levant traded 270 american dollars and received 3000 Mexican pesos when he returned from Mexico h
Verdich [7]
<span>Levant traded 270 american dollars and received 3000 Mexican pesos. This means that:
1 Mexican peso = (270 x 1) / (3000) = 0.09$

Therefore,
100 pesos will be worth 100 x 0.09 = 9$

Based on this, he will receive 9$ when exchanging 100 pesos for dollars.</span>
