Answer:
there doesnt seem to be much information, but from what it looks like it looks like it is 20?
y = x³ + 3x² - x - 3
0 = x³ + 3x² - x - 3
0 = x²(x) + x²(3) - 1(x) - 1(3)
0 = x²(x + 3) - 1(x + 3)
0 = (x² - 1)(x + 3)
0 = (x² + x - x - 1)(x + 3)
0 = (x(x) + x(1) - 1(x) - 1(1))(x + 3)
0 = (x(x + 1) - 1(x + 1))(x + 3)
0 = (x - 1)(x + 1)(x + 3)
0 = x - 1 or 0 = x + 1 or 0 = x + 3
+ 1 + 1 - 1 - 1 - 3 - 3
1 = x or -1 = x or -3 = x
Solution Set: {-3, -1, 1}
To find the tax rate when given the initial price of an object and the final tax value, you use the equation: $350 * X = $22.75 (where X is the sales tax rate). Then solve:
$22.75/$350 = .065
So the rate is 6.5%
Point-slope form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
[m is the slope, x₁ and y₁ ---> (x₁, y₁) is the point]
Since you know:
m = 5
(2, 6) = (x₁, y₁) Substitute/plug in the values into the equation
y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
y - 6 = 5(x - 2) The 1st option is your answer
