-5x^3 + 2x^2 + 1
a coefficient is the number that is multiplied by the variable.For instance, the coefficient of 2x is 2....because 2 (the number) is multiplied by the variable x.
so in ur problem....there are 2 coefficients..-5 and 2.
** the number 1 is not a coefficient, it is a constant...a " loner " with no variables (letters) attached.
** and if u have just the letter...such as n, the coefficient to that is 1 but the one is just not written...it is actually 1n.
okay...I am gonna shut up now :)
Whatever% of anything is just (whatever/100) * anything.
therefore, if an item has been discounted by 40%, the discounte is that 40%, what is 40% of the price "p"? (40/100) * p or 0.4p.
Answer:
<em>The least number of items to produce is 41</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Average Cost</u>
Given C(x) as the cost function to produce x items. The average cost is:

The cost function is:

And the average cost function is:

We are required to find the least number of items that can be produced so the average cost is less or equal to $21.
We set the inequality:

Multiplying by x:

Note we multiplied by x and did not flip the inequality sign because its value cannot be negative.
Adding 20x:


Swapping sides and changing the sign:

Dividing by 41:

The least number of items to produce is 41
K+19.5≤ 40
You can then proceed to solve the inequality
