Answer:
The original value of the car.
Step-by-step explanation:
The 21,500 would be the <em>a </em>value of the function, as it is before the parentheses. The <em>a </em>value of an exponential function is a constant, and it is the y-intercept of that function, meaning in a real-world application, it would be where the values start at. In this case, the 21,500 is where the price of the car starts at, i.e., the original value of the car.
The answer is probably 2 because if you plug in the numbers you would get
3x-4=-12 divided by -6 = +2.
For simple integer factors as this one has, you want to find two values for the quadratic in the form ax^2+bx+c. Let the two values be j and k. These two values must satisfy two conditions.
jk=ac=10 and j+k=b=11, so j and k must be 1 and 10.
Now replace bx with jx and kx...
2x^2+x+10x+5 now factor 1st and 2nd pair of terms.
x(2x+1)+5(2x+1)
(x+5)(2x+1)
5 2/7 is the answer.
37÷7= 5 remainder 2. Then it will be 5 2/7.
