Answer:
There are ways for quickly multiply out a binomial that's being raised by an exponent. Like
(a + b)0 = 1
(a + b)1 = a + b
(a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2
(a + b)3 = (a + b)(a + b)2 = (a + b)(a2 + 2ab + b2) = a3 + 3a2b + 3ab2 + b3
and so on and so on
but there was this mathematician named Blaise Pascal and he found a numerical pattern, called Pascal's Triangle, for quickly expanding a binomial like the ones from earlier. It looks like this
1 1
2 1 2 1
3 1 3 3 1
4 1 4 6 4 1
5 1 5 10 10 5 1
Pascal's Triangle gives us the coefficients for an expanded binomial of the form (a + b)n, where n is the row of the triangle.
Hope this helps!
At Wolf-M-Up, Cost = 17.50 + 2.25(number of days)
At Fangs-R-Us, Cost = 24.25 + 1.5(number of days)
The costs are the same when [ 17.50 + 2.25 D = 24.25 + 1.5 D ].
Subtract 1.5D from each side: 17.50 + 0.75 D = 24.25
Subtract 17.50 from each side: 0.75 D = 6.75
Divide each side by 0.75 : <em>D = 9 days</em>
Substitute 9 for the number of days at either company,
and the cost is<em> $37.75</em> .
If you only want the wolf for a few days, then Wolf-M-Up is cheaper.
If you plan to keep it for more than 9 days, then Fangs-R-Us will cost less.
For exactly 9 days, both wolves will cost the same $37.75 .
Answer:
-9
Step-by-step explanation:
you'd add 2 to the -11 which would equal -9 and leave you with x=-9
