Franny: 2.849 tons is the answer
Answer:
Cost Control
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost control <em>is the method of recognizing and reducing business expenditure in order to boost revenue, and it begins with the budgeting process. </em>
A company owner contrasts actual results to goals that are budgeted and if actual costs are higher than expected, management may intervene.
Seems to be an arythmetic sequence
Sn=[n(a1+an)]/2
where
Sn means sum of all terms up the nth term
n=number of terms
a1=first term
an=nth term
so from 86 to the 22th term is from a1 to a22
find teh sequence
miknus 7 each time
an=a1+d(n-1)
an=87-7(n-1)
find 22n term
a22=87-7(22-1)
a22=87-7(21)
a22=87-147
a22=-60
S22=[22(87-60)]/2
S22=[22(27)]/2
S22=594/2
S22=297
the sum is 297
An 8th-degree polynomial needs 9 terms that involve
x⁸, x⁷, ..., x¹, and x⁰.
x=10 implies that (x-10) is a factor of the polynomial according to the Remainder theorem.
Let the polynomial be of the form
f(x) = a₁x⁸ + a₂x⁷ + a₃x⁶ +a₄x⁵ + a₅x⁴ + a₆x³ + a₇x² + a₈x + a₉
The first few lines of the synthetic division are
10 | a₁ a₂ a₃ a₄ a₅ a₆ a₇ a₈ a₉ ( the first row has 9 coefficients)
-----------------------------------------
a₁
Answer:
The first row has 9 coefficients.
