Given:
sales discount = 30%
sales tax = 12%
c(p) = 0.7p where p is the original price
f(c) = 1.12c where c is the sales price of the bike.
f[c(p)] = 1.12(0.7p)
f[c(p)] = 0.784p Last option.
Assume: p = 100
c(100) = 0.7(100) = 70
f(70) = 1.12(70) = 78.4
f[70(100)] = 0.784(100) = 78.4
The way that you would do this is by taking

out of the binomial, or as I like to think about it, 'un-distributing'. :p

out of

, you end up with

.
When you take

out of

, you get

.
Put it together, and the solution is

-

.
Hope I helped!!
Answer:
The 8 should have remained positive.
Step-by-step explanation:
8-(-2)=8+2=10
Two negatives make a positive so 8-(-2) will turn into 8+2.
Laura was wrong because she thought the 8 turned to a negative but that makes no sense.
Answer:
8x³ + 12x² - 16x - 16
General Formulas and Concepts:
- Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
- Distributive Property
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define expression</u>
(4x² - 2x - 4)(2x + 4)
<u>Step 2: Simplify</u>
- Expand: 8x³ - 4x² - 8x + 16x² - 8x - 16
- Combine like terms (x²): 8x³ + 12x² - 8x - 8x - 16
- Combine like terms (x): 8x³ + 12x² - 16x - 16
