The answer to the problem is going to be 3
Answer:
D.) the initial height of the roller coaster
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to know the function that models the difference in the number of customers visiting the two stores.
We know the function that models the number of customers in the cafeteria
W (x) = 0.002x3 - 0.01x2
We also know the function that models the number of customers who visit the ice cream parlor
R (x) = x2 - 4x + 13
Therefore the difference, D (x), in the number of customers visiting the two stores is:
D (x) = W (x) - R (x)
D (x) = 0.002x ^ 3 - 0.01x ^ 2 - (x ^ 2 -4x +13)
D (x) = 0.002x ^ 3 - 0.01x ^ 2 - x ^ 2 + 4x -13
D (x) = 0.002x ^ 3 - 1.01x ^ 2 + 4x -13
