Answer:
-9
Step-by-step explanation:
We have by the intermediate value theorem that if a continuous function takes values both above and below zero at 2 points, there is a zero of the function in-between. We have that polynomials are continues. Let's calculate f(-6) and f(-5). f(-6)=-36 while f(-5)=-1. Thus, we cannot conclude that there is a root between them.
F(-2)=8, f(-1)=-1, so there is a flip; a zero must exist between them.
F(1)=-1, f(2)=20, so again there is a change of signs.
f(-5)=-1, f(-4)=14 so there is a root still.
We have that the only choice that does not have a root between the integers is choice a.
Answer:
I believe for the second one it's B, then for the third one it's D
Step-by-step explanation:
Oh also be careful w ur lunch # showing
Increase $110,000 by 20% 3 times.
110,000 x 0.2 = 22000
(0.2 is 20% as a decimal, we needed to convert it to multiply it)
So we must add 22000 to 110,000, then take 20% of the new cost, and repeat.
Add them
110,000 + 22000 = 132000
Take 20% of new value
132000 x 0.2 = 26400
Add that
132000 + 26400 = 158400
Take another 20% of that
31680
Add them
158400 + 31680 = 190080
So the value is now $190,080
A much more efficient way to do this would be multiplying 1.2 instead of 0.2, and skipping the adding part, as you already took 100% of it and are adding 20% more.
Hope this helps!
