Valid because 3 x 3 is 9 :))
Answer:
C) 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Emma: Range = 8
Arianna: Range = 6
The difference in the range is 2 (8-6)
-(-(-)(-)(-10x)) = -5
We need to cancel out the negatives, so we need to simplify this.
To make things a bit easier for you, we can begin by counting out how many negatives we have. After counting, you should have a negative number count of 5. However, one of the negatives is apart of (-10x) so we'll have 4 negatives and then an extra negative in with 10x.
Remember that "-" could also be looked at as "-1."
So, if we break this down into smaller parts and substitute "-" into "-1," then this'll look like this :
-1 × -1 × -1 × -1 × (-10x) = -5
Remember that a negative times a negative is always a positive.
So, since there are four negatives, then you just multiply it all together.
This results in 1 × (-10x) = -5
Simplify.
-10x = -5
Now, you simply divide both sides by -10.
-10x ÷ -10 = -5 ÷ -10
Simplify.
x = 1/2
~Hope I helped!~
That would be
f(x) = (x - 2)(x - 3)(x + 3)
expanded this is f(x) = (x - 2)(x^2 - 9)
= x^3 - 2x^2 - 9x + 18
