1. Negative
Explanation: A negative minus a positive will be a negative
2. Negative
Explanation: If you use your order of operations a negative multiplied by a negative will be positive but since BxB would be greater than A it would be negative for example 2-8 would equal -6
Remark
I don't know exactly what level you are in, but the obvious factors are
y = 2x*(x^3 + 11x + 30)
This gives one more factor somewhere around x = -11.3 . Notice that the minimum is around - 3000 or so. I don't think anyone is going to try and take this any further. My calculator figures out cubics and gives an answer of -11.23. There are two other roots but they are a complex pair.
Answer
factor 1: 2x
factor 2: x^3 + 11x^2 + 30
Answer:
A. $307,172.72
Step-by-step explanation:
Inez has to pay 4 percent in closing costs and 16 percent for the down payment on a purchase of $225,500 with an ARM.
4% + 16% = 20%
lnez has to pay 20% of $225,500
= 225,500*20/100
= 225,500*0.2
= $45100
lnez has to pay $45100.
Over the life of the loan, lnez will pay $262,072.72
Now we have to add down payment, closing cost and the payment over the life of the loan.
$45100 + $262,072.72
= $307,172.72
Answer: A. $307,172.72
Thank you.
