Start with the general formula. The key word is difference. So the general formula is
D(x) = W(x) - R(x) Now substitute in the values for W(x) and R(x)
D(x) = 0.002x^3 - 0.01x^2 - (x^2 - 4x + 13) Be very careful about the sign in front of the brackets.
D(x) = 0.002x^3 - 0.01x^2 - x^2 + 4x - 13 Do you see what that minus sign did? It affected all 3 terms.
D(x) = 0.002x^3 - 1.01x^2 + 4x - 13 <em>Note: -0.01 - 1x^2 = - 1.01 x^2</em>
That gives you a clear cut answer
C<<<<< answer.
That sign is the worst part of the question. Make sure you understand what it did.
Answer:
Whats the question?
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
0.5x=6-3.5
0.5x=2.5
x=2.5÷0.5
x=5
Well, the answer to the question in your picture is $1200.
If x is the original price, and we took 23%, or 0.23 from that, we are left with 77%, or 0.77 of the full price.
So 0.77x = 924
x = 924/0.77
x = 1,200
1200 - 0.23(1200) = 924
924 = 0.77x
