Explanation:
_______________
Price starts at: $7.37.
__________________
The first month, it increases by $0.50, so we add $0.50 to that starting value:
__________________
    $  7.37 
+      0.50
___________
    $  7.80
_____________
The second month, it decreases by $0.38, so we subtract $0.38 from our last obtained value:
___________________
    $  7.80
-       0.38
___________
    $  7.42
______________
During the third month, it increases by $0.32, so we add $0.32 to our last obtained value:
______________
    $  7.42
+      0.32
___________
    $  7.74
______________
During the fourth month, it decreases by $0.12, so we subtract $0.12 from our last obtained value:
________________________
    $  7.74
-       0.12
___________
    $  7.62; which is our answer.
_____________
How do we know our answer is reasonable?
______________
We start with: $7.37, then plus $0.50, then minus 0.38, then plus 0.32, then minus 0.12.
_______________
The "minus 0.38"and "plus 0.32" do not "cancel out" , but come close to. The "plus 0.50" and "minus 0.12"; in consideration with the above sentence; suggest that the value should be over the starting price of $7.37, but not much more than $8.00; or even less than $8.00. 
  Our answer is: $7.62; which seems "reasonable".

Find the GCF<br> 50x^4, -10x^5, 2x^6
shtirl [24]

Answer:

2 x^4

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the GCF is the greatest of the product of factors that are common to all these three expressions

then for the pure numerical part, the factor common to 50, -10 , and 2 is "2"

and for the variable part x^4 is the largest common to all three expressions.

Therefore the GCF is: 2 x^4
