The total number of crikets after 2 years will be  2,000.
Calculation:
250 crickets = 3 months
2 years = 24 months
24 months / 3 months = 8 months
8 months x 250 crickets = 2,000 crickets after 2 years

Answer:

P(x)=-5x^3-40x^2-45x+90

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equation of a Polynomial</u>

Given the roots x1, x2, and x3 of a cubic polynomial, the equation can be written as:

P(x)=a(x-x1)(x-x2)(x-x3)

Where a is the leading coefficient.

We know the three roots of the polynomial -6, -3, and 1, thus:

P(x)=a(x+6)(x+3)(x-1)

Since the y-intercept of the polynomial is y=90 when x=0:

90=a(0+6)(0+3)(0-1)

90=a(6)(3)(-1)=-18a

Thus

a = 90/(-18) = -5

The polynomial is:

P(x)=-5(x+6)(x+3)(x-1)

We must write it in standard form, so we have to multiply all of the factors as follows:

P(x)=-5(x^2+6x+3x+18)(x-1)

P(x)=-5(x^2+9x+18)(x-1)

P(x)=-5(x^3-x^2+9x^2-9x+18x-18)

P(x)=-5(x^3+8x^2+9x-18)

\boxed{P(x)=-5x^3-40x^2-45x+90}

Investments increase exponentially by
Blizzard [7]

Using an exponential function, it is found that you would have $10,240 after 18 years.

<h3>What is an exponential function?</h3>

An increasing exponential function is modeled by:

A(t) = A(0)(1 + r)^t

In which:

  • A(0) is the initial value.
  • r is the growth rate, as a decimal.

Considering the initial value of $2,500, and the growth rate of 60% every 6 years, the equation is given by:

A(t) = 2500(1.6)^\frac{t}{6}

Hence, after 18 years, the amount is given by:

A(18) = 2500(1.6)^\frac{18}{6} = 10240

Please help!!! I would like an explanation along with your answer. Thanks
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

11.2 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The two furthest corners of the bed are at (8, 6) and (5, 10).  To determine which is the furthest from the origin, use the distance formula.

d = √((x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²)

d = √((8 − 0)² + (6 − 0)²)

d = 10

d = √((x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²)

d = √((5 − 0)² + (10 − 0)²)

d = 5√5

d ≈ 11.2

Therefore, the corner at (5, 10) is the furthest from the origin, about 11.2 feet away.
