<u>Algebra I</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

P(x) = x³ + 4x² - 3x + 1

P(1) is x = 1

P(-2) is x = -2

<u>Step 2: Evaluate</u>

<em>P(1)</em>

  1. Substitute:                    P(1) = 1³ + 4(1)² - 3(1) + 1
  2. Exponents:                   P(1) = 1 + 4(1) - 3(1) + 1
  3. Multiply:                        P(1) = 1 + 4 - 3 + 1
  4. Add:                              P(1) = 5 - 3 + 1
  5. Subtract:                       P(1) = 2 + 1
  6. Add:                              P(1) = 3

<em>P(-2)</em>

  1. Substitute:                    P(-2) = (-2)³ + 4(-2)² - 3(-2) + 1
  2. Exponents:                   P(-2) = -8 + 4(4) - 3(-2) + 1
  3. Multiply:                        P(-2) = -8 + 16 + 6 + 1
  4. Add:                              P(-2) = 8 + 6 + 1
  5. Add:                              P(-2) = 14 + 1
  6. Add:                              P(-2) = 15

Josh had to make 2,000 cookies for his bakery. 2 pieces of wheat make 8 cookies. How much wheat does he need?
Licemer1 [7]
Answer: 500 pieces of wheat

Explanation:

First: set up the proportion
Cookies:wheat = 8:2
Simplify = 4:1
We need to find how much wheat he needs for 2,000 cookies.
We need to assign a variable for wheat
Wheat = W
If Josh needs to make 2,000 cookies he would need W amount of wheat
Original proportion = 4:1
For 2,000 cookies = 2,000:W
To get from 4 to 2,000
2,000/4 = 500
So W/1 = 500
Isolate the variable:
w/1 (1) = 500/1
W = 500

Mark Ronnie and Lisa bought a 75 inch curved 4000 television.Lisa put 650 more than Mark had.Mark had twice as much and then Ron
Alexeev081 [22]

So since you gave all of the equations of everyone's amount that they put in, it saves some work.

Let's add up everyone's contribution and then solve for x:

(2x+500)+x+(650+2x+500)

Then since we know the television costs $2,000, we can set this expression equal to that and simplify terms. Then we can solve for x:

5x+1,650=2000

5x=350

x=70

So since Ronnie put in 'x', we can say that Ronnie paid $70.

Since Mark put in '2x + 500', we can plug in 70 for x to find that Mark paid $640.

And since Lisa put in '650 + 2x + 500', we can plug in 70 for x again to find that Lisa paid $1,290.
