Start with the general formula. The key word is difference. So the general formula is
D(x) = W(x) - R(x) Now substitute in the values for W(x) and R(x)
D(x) = 0.002x^3 - 0.01x^2 - (x^2 - 4x + 13) Be very careful about the sign in front of the brackets.
D(x) = 0.002x^3 - 0.01x^2 - x^2 + 4x - 13 Do you see what that minus sign did? It affected all 3 terms.
D(x) = 0.002x^3 - 1.01x^2 + 4x - 13 <em>Note: -0.01 - 1x^2 = - 1.01 x^2</em>
That gives you a clear cut answer
C<<<<< answer.
That sign is the worst part of the question. Make sure you understand what it did.
The gcf of both 6 and 48 is 6. So, in simplest form, the ration would be: 1:6 or 1 hour:6 minutes :)
To match the number with the opposite, we are flipping the sign. If the sign is originally a negative, it would become a positive, and vice versa.
Term: 3.2 Match (Opposite): B) - 3.2
Term: -2.3 Match (Opposite): D) 2.3
Term: -1.5 Match (Opposite): C) 1.5
Term: 5.1 Match (Opposite): A) -5.1

"A" is the correct answer
Answer:
boys:girls:teachers
5 : 4 :1
Step-by-step explanation:
75 boys, 60 girls and 15 teachers
boys:girls:teachers
75 : 60 :15
Divide each term by 15
75 /15 : 60/15 :15/15
5 : 4 :1
