Hey there! I'm happy to help!
We want to multiply each term inside the parentheses by the number on the outside.
-3(-7)=21
-3(3z)=-9z
Therefore, our expression is 21-9z.
Now you know how to use the distributive property! Have a wonderful day! :D
This is an equation of exponential decay
y(t) = a b^ t where a is the initial amount
b is the decay factor
t is the time in years
b is found by taking 1 and subtracting the percent it decreases in decimal form
Letting t =4
y(t) = 260 million * ( 1- .011) ^ 4
=248.7473796 million
=24874737.96
Rounding to a whole number
= 24874738
Answer: The correct option is, The coefficient of the first term.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given function is,

End behavior of the polynomial function : It is defined as the graph of f(x) as x approaches
and
.
The end behavior of the graph depends on the leading coefficient and degree of the polynomial.
As, the degree of the polynomial is '3'. So, the leading coefficient will determine the structure of the graph.
Therefore, the coefficient of the first term will indicate that the left end starts at the top of the graph.
The graph is also shown below.
6 multiplied by negative 7 would be negative 42. Negative 42 added by negative 8 would be negative 34.
#3
A(x) = 1000(1+.17)x
because the 17 percent would have to be changed to a decimal form
