Given the following question:

Part A:
I believe that the 12,000 tells us the orginal price of the car, or the price the car was purchased for. 12000 is the orginal price of the car.
Part B:
I believe that the 3/5 tells us the decline in value each year after the car has been purchased. Which is why t is the exponet is t was 2 you would have to multiply 3/5 by itself twice and then multiply it by 12000 which further decreases it's value. 3/5 represents the decline in value after T years.
Part C:
t = number of years
t = 3

Value of the car after three years will be 2592.
Answer:
f(x) = x^3 - x^2 -2x
Step-by-step explanation:
If x = a is a zero of a polynomial, then x-a is a factor of the polynomial. Given the factors of a polynomial, the polynomial can be obtained by multiplying the factors.
The factors of the given polynomial are;
x - 2
x + 1
x
Multiplying the first two factors;
(x-2)(x+1) = x^2 + x -2x -2
= x^2 -x -2
We finally multiply this result by x to obtain our polynomial;
f(x) = x ( x^2 -x -2)
= x^3 - x^2 -2x
which is a cubic polynomial since it has 3 roots.
If the ratio is 4:1 , pencils being the 4 and erasers being the 1, there are 4 pencils for every 1 eraser. Now, substitute the 4 pencils for 20 pencils. How do you get to 20 from 4? multiply by 5. You multiply the 4 pencils by 5 to get 20, and u multiply the 1 eraser by 5 to get 5, so there are 20 pencils: 5 erasers
