You multiply -21 by 14 to find x, and that would be -21 x 14 = -294, and that is your answer.
Remember that polynomials are closed under addition, subtraction, and multiplication, but they are not closed under division. The only division you have there is B; therefore the correct answer is
B.
A.

. The result is still a polynomial; therefore, answer A is incorrect.
B. 
with a remainder of 26. The result is not a polynomial anymore; therefore,
B is the correct answer.
C.

. The result is still a polynomial; therefore, answer C is incorrect.
D.

. The result is still a polynomial; therefore, answer D is incorrect.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The above question is in the form of an exponential decay. The equation for an exponential decay is given by:

where y and x are variables, b < 1, a is the initial value of y (that is the value of y when x = 0).
Let y represent the number of trees left and x represent the number of months. Given that there is currently 2.5 billion trees, therefore a = 2.5 * 10⁹, b = 0.5% = 0.005. The equations becomes:

Answer:
(-6,-9)
