Answer:
4x^3 − 16x^2 − 12x − 40
Step-by-step explanation:
= 4(x)(x^2 +x +2) +4(-5)(x^2 +x +2) . . . use the distributive property
= 4x^3 +4x^2 +8x -20x^2 -20x -40 . . . . and again
= 4x^3 -16x^2 -12x -40
As stated in (i), the equation of the line is: ln y = -0.015x + .26
(By the way, I checked your answers for parts (i) and (ii) and they are both correct)
(iii)
Plug in (1.1) for y and solve:
ln (1.1) = -0.015x + .26
0.095 = -0.015x + .26
-0.165 = - 0.015x
10.979 = x
Answer: x = 10.979
