Literally whatever number is in the parenthesis, if it’s negative like -4 then you could down 4 lines of squares and put a dot. if it’s positive then go up
Sum of polynomials are always polynomials.
Note that despite it's name, single constants, monomials, binomials, trinomials, and expressions with more than three terms are all polynomials.
For example,
0, π sqrt(2)x, 4x+2, x^2+3x+4, x^2-x^2, x^5+x/ π -1
are all polynomials.
What makes an expression NOT a polynomial?
Expressions that contain non-integer or negative powers of variables, rational functions, infinite series.
For example,
sqrt(x+1), 1/x+4, 1+x+ x^2/2!+x^3/3!+x^4/4!+...., (5x+3)/(6x+7)
are NOT polynomials.
The calculations for 2, 4, 8 year can be derived as follows,
For simple interest:
S.I = 
P= principle
T= Time
R= Rate
For 2 year;
S.I =
= $224
Amount = $2224
For 4 year;
S.I =
= $448
Amount = $2448
For 8 year;
S.I =
= $896
Amount = $2896
2 inches in between each, start off on the edge go in 3 inches secound brace, than finsh on the final edge
The y-intercept is the "b" in the slope-intercept form of y=mx+b. Based on the equation you wrote, you can substitute each of your known values into the slope-intercept form.
