She rewrote the problem without parentheses: x3+ 2x2 - x + x3 – 2x2 +6
Step-by-step explanation:
It looks like she didn't fully distribute the -
(x3 + 2x2 - x)-(-x3 + 2x2 + 6) :Original
x3+ 2x2 - x + x3 – 2x2 +6 :Changed
~
(x3 + 2x2 - x)-(-x3 + 2x2 + 6)
x3 + 2x2 - x + x3 - 2x2 - 6
x3 + x3 + 2x2 - 2x2 -x - 6
2x3-x-6
I hope this helps ^-^
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Charging by the quarter mile is for purpose of making that particular taxi service seem cheaper than the others when they post a per mile charge. If this taxi company is charging .50 per 1/4 mile, they are charging $2 per mile. So we will base our equation on the per mile charge, not the per quarter-mile charge. If x is the number of mile driven (our uknown), and we have a flat fee of $2.50 regardless of how many miles we are driven, the cost function in terms of miles is
C(x) = 2x + 2.50
If we are driven 5 miles, then
C(5) = 2(5) + 2.50 so
C(5) = 10 + 2.50 and
C(5) = $12.50
It would cost $12.50 to be driven 5 miles
