<h3>Answer: Choice C) x^4 - 2</h3>

Explanation:

If the exponent is negative, then that means we apply the reciprocal. So something like x^(-2) becomes 1/(x^2). A polynomial cannot have a variable in the denominator like this. So we can rule out choices A, B, and D. Choice C is the only thing left. It is a polynomial because the exponent is a positive whole number.

the krazy kite company is planning to produce kites.the company has rented space for its manufacturing operation at $6,000 per m

37k (cost of the materials for each kite) plus 28k (the labor for each kite) plus 6,000=x (the total cost). With this equation you can plug in any number of kites so...

37k+28k+6,000=x Combine like terms...

65k+6,000=x Plug in k...

Use what you've learned in this unit to model the population of Western

azamat

The population function of the Western Lowland Gorillas can either represent population growth or population decay

<h3>How to model the population</h3>

The question is incomplete, as the resources to model the population of the Western Lowland Gorillas are not given.

So, I will give a general explanation to solve the question

A population function can be represented as:

$y = a(1 \pm r)^x$

Where:

The initial population of the Western Lowland Gorillas is represented by (a)
The rate at which the population changes is represented by (r)
The number of years since 2022 is represented by (x)
The population in x years is represented by (y)

From the question, we understand that the population of the Western Lowland Gorillas decreases.

This means that the rate of the function would be an exponential decay i.e. 1 -r

Take for instance:

$y = 2000 * 0.98^x$
