The two formats, or methods, for preparing the business income statement are single-step and multi-step. The single-step method reports revenues in one section and expenses in another. It is easy to comprehend, but it is not very detailed. Investors may be turned off by the difficulty in determining where a company's income is coming from, which will affect their decision to invest capital in the company.
The multi-step method states revenues and expenses in more distinct categories. It separates things like operating revenues and expenses from non-operating revenues and expenses. This structured statement gives investors a better look at a business's point of profitability, its weaknesses, and whether it is operating efficiently.

Method
First check out the zeros (first box).
Step One.
Put brackets around terms 1 and 2 and another set around terms 3 and 4.
f(x) = (x^3 + 8x^2) - (4x + 32) Watch out that you change the sign on the 32. Minus signs can be devastating. The idea is that when the brackets are removed, the question will be exactly as it was before you put the brackets there.
Step Two
Pull out any common factors.
f(x) = x^2(x + 8) - 4(x + 8)
Step Three.
If there is a common binomial pull it out as well. This is the hardest part of the problem. The binomials have to be exactly alike (in this case they are).
f(x) = (x + 8) (x^2 - 4)
Step Four
Factor (x^2 - 4). This is an exact difference of squares. It factors into
x^2 - 4 = (x + 2)(x - 2)
Step five
Find the zeros.
f(x) = (x + 8)(x - 2)(x + 2)
x + 8 = 0
x = - 8
x + 2 = 0
x = - 2
x - 2 = 0
x = 2
I know you didn't ask for all of this, but when someone asks a question, it's always a good idea to check the work done. In your case it was all correct. That's a very good thing.
Definition
Multiplicity is the number of times a root appears in the solution of a polynomial.
For example, g(x) = (x - 5)^2 (x - 4)
The five would have a multiplicity of 2 because the equation is really
g(x) = (x - 5)(x - 5) ( x - 4). There are 2 roots that are the same (both are 5).
4 has a multiplicity of 1 in this example.
Answer
The largest root is 2. It has a multiplicity of 1
The second largest root is -2. It has a multiplicity of 1
The tiniest root is - 8 . It has a multiplicity of 1
Answer: 10.99 + 1.25x
Step-by-step explanation:
The cost of a large pizza is $10.99 and each additional topping costs $1.25. The expression that can be used to calculate the cost of a pizza when x toppings are added will be:
Cost of pizza + (number of additional toppings × 1.25)
Since x toppings are included, this will be:
= 10.99 + (1.25 × x)
= 10.99 + 1.25x
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you must draw two boxes.
Second, you must divide them into three.
Third you shade in five boxes.
Answer:
y = 1/2x -3
x=-2 ⇒ y = -4
x=-1 ⇒ y = -3.5
x=0 ⇒ y = -3
x=1 ⇒ y = -2.5
x=2 ⇒ y = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, to answer this question we have to isolate y:
x - 2y = 6
-2y =6-x
y = (6-x)/-2
y = -3+1/2x
y = 1/2x -3
Now, we have to create a table with the next values (see attachment)
x=-2 ⇒ y = 1/2x -3 = 1/2(-2)-3= -4
x=-1 ⇒ y = 1/2x -3 = 1/2(-1)-3= -3.5
x=0 ⇒ y = 1/2x -3 = 1/2(0)-3= -3
x=1 ⇒ y = 1/2x -3 = 1/2(1)-3= -2.5
x=2 ⇒ y = 1/2x -3 = 1/2(2)-3= -2
