Your overall grade will go down. I'd try to ask your teacher if you can make them up.
The given equation with t -1 is:
(t – 1)^3 + 6 (t – 1)^2 + 12 (t – 1) + 8
Expand each term before combining for easier visualization:
(t – 1)^3 = t^3 – 3 t^2 + 3t – 1
6 (t – 1)^2 = 6 t^2 – 12 t + 6
12 (t – 1) = 12 t - 12
Then substitute and combine:
-> t^3 – 3 t^2 + 3t – 1 + 6 t^2 – 12 t + 6 + 12 t – 12 + 8
t^3 + 3 t^2 + 3 t + 1 (ANSWER)
Answer:
I got B too so I sure could be right answer but if it's not then I so sorry. B. 6
The answer is 325, 20 + 205 + 100 = 325
