19x³ + (14x + 4x³)=
You can assume that there is a 1 in front of the parentheses, so you can distribute the one to each term in the parentheses.
19x³ + 1(14x+4x³)=
19x³ + 14x + 4x³=
Then combine like terms to get 23x³ + 14x.
So 19x³ + 14x + 4x³= 23x³ + 14x
You must use the Order of Operations
Parentheses
Exponents
Multiply
Divide
Add
Subtract
Answer:
Part A: yes it is a function because every input value (x) produces only one output value (y).
Note: It is still a function if different x values produce the same y value, in this case, x=1 and x=-1 produce the same y value 1, but it is NOT a function if y=1 and y=-1 have the same x value x=1.
Part B: when x=30: f(30)=17*30+50=560
if means that the cost of renting the truck for 30 hours is 560 dollars.
