Answer:
set mary is x years old, and helen is y years old.
first sentence:x=2y
second one:4(y-8)=x+4
bring x=2y in 4(y-8)=x+4
=>4y-32=2y+4
=>2y=36
=>y=18
=>x=36
mary:36
helen:18
Answer: a) degree and sign
b) end behavior: left side → +∞, right side → -∞
c) x-intercepts: x = -1.3, 0.3, 1.0
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
end behavior can be determined by two things:
1) the degree of the polynomial:
- if the degree is an even number, then the end behavior will be the same for both the left and right sides.
- if the degree is an odd number, then the end behavior will be different for both the left and right sides.
2) the sign of the leading coefficient:
- If the leading coefficient is positive, then the end behavior of the right side goes to positive infinity
- If the leading coefficient is negative, then the end behavior of the right side goes to negative infinity
W(x) = -5x³ + 7x - 2
Degree: 3 (odd)
Leading Coefficient: negative
So, end behavior is: right side goes to negative infinity, right side goes to positive infinity.
See attachment for x-intercepts. <em>I set the x-axis to represent tenths </em>
The answer is the second one, the y-intercept is 3 and its is less than or euqal to so you shade below
Now I'm not completely sure of this answer but by my calculations the member can visit at least 36 times with $42.
