Answer:
6 nights with 4 logs left over
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The question presumes you have access to a computer algebra system. The one I have access to provided the output in the attachment. The list at the bottom is the list of the first four derivatives of f(x).
__
The derivatives alternate signs, so (-1)^k will be a factor.
The numerators start at 17 and increase by increasing factors: 2, 3, 4, indicating k! will be a factor.
The denominators have a degree that is k+1.
Putting these observations together, we can write an expression for the k-th derivative of f(x):

Part A:
The drawing representing Eli's walking pattern is attached.
Part B:
The total distance worked by Eli is given by
12 + 32 + 14 = 58 feet.
Part C:
The distance of Eli from his house is given by
12 + 32 - 14 = 30 feet.
PEMDAS order refers to parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction. So, 2*5=10 and 34+10=44.
Properties of equality have nothing to do with it. The associative and commutative properties of multiplication are used (along with the distributive property and the fact of arithmetic: 9 = 10 - 1).
All of these problems make use of the strategy, "look at what you have before you start work."
1. = (4·5)·(-3) = 20·(-3) = -60 . . . . if you know factors of 60, you can do this any way you like. It is convenient to ignore the sign until the final result.
2. = (2.25·4)·23 = 9·23 = 23·10 -23 = 230 -23 = 207 . . . . multiplication by 4 can clear the fraction in 2 1/4, so we choose to do that first. Multiplication by 9 can be done with a subtraction that is often easier than using ×9 facts.
4. = (2·5)·12·(-1) = 10·12·(-1) = (-1)·120 = -120 . . . . multiplying by 10 is about the easiest, so it is convenient to identify the factors of 10 and use them first. Again, it is convenient to ignore the sign until the end.
5. = 0 . . . . when a factor is zero, the product is zero
