Answer:
1. x< 3
2. x>12
have a great day :)
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a way to factoring trinomials (there exist different equivalent methods).
Multiply the trinomial but the term accompanying . This is the second line. Then, you could take the square of the 
, ant try to create a factor () () that will correspond to the expression in the second line. That is, we want 
In ? we put the corresponding numbers that, if we multiply them we will obtain 42, and if we add them we will obtain 13. This numbers are 6 and 7. Then, we have 
The last step is divide by the number that we multipy in the first step.
A percentage is equivalent to a fraction, a percentage is out of 100 therefore the fraction for this can be 28/100, as a decimal this would be .28. Therefore to solve this problem you would set up the problem as, 942 x .28= 263.76, you then take that number and subtract it from the original price of the tv, and you get the final price, of $678.24.
I'm not sure what your variables are, but I will try task 3 with you.
y=$500(in billions)
x= the number of years that have passed since 2009
percentage of decrease: 1 - % =
so your formula will look like this: y(1 - %)^x
