You can only cut down a integer number of trees. So you might look at a few integer values for x. As x get large the –x4 term dominates the expression for big losses. x = 0 is easy P(x) = -6. Without cutting any trees you have lost money Put x = 1 and you get for the terms in order -1 + 1 + 7 -1 -6 = 0. So P(x) crosses zero just before you cut the first tree. So you make a profit on only 1 tree. However when x=10 you are back into no profit. So compute a few values for x = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9.
Answer:
the pic shows the coordinates
The problem is: d=rt
you are solving for r
d=rt
-- --
t t
you divide both sides by r, so your answer is:
d/t=r or r=d/t
I hope this helped! :))
We can factor <span>4x^2-25 into (2x +5) * (2x -5) and
dividing by (2x -5)
yields (2x +5)
That neatened up pretty nicely.</span>
