Answer: Its factored form will be

Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that

So, we need to factor ,

Now,

Now, by hit and trial method, we put n=1,


So, n-1 is also factor of p(n).
Now,

So, its factored form will be

In this problem, we are asked to determine the degree of the given expression 12X4 - 8X + 4X2 -3. To answer this, first, we need to arrange the mathematical expression in descending order with respect to its power such as the new arrangement will become 12x4 + 4x2 -8x -3. The degree is clearly visible and it is 4. Therefore, the answer to this problem is the letter "B" which is 4.
The formula for depreciation is:

Where x = Initial value,
y= Amount after depreciation.
r= Rate of depreciation,
t = time (in years)
According to given problem,
x = 1040, y= 944 and t = 12 months =1 year.
So, first step is to plug in these values in the above formula, So,

944 = 1040 (1 -r)
Divide each sides by 1040.
0.907692308 =1 - r
0.907692308 - 1 = -r Subtract 1 from each sides.
-0.092307692 = -r
So, r = 0.09 or 9%.
Now plug in 0.09 in the above equation to get the depreciation equation. So,

So, 
b) To find the value of the bike after 5 months,
plug in t = 5 months= 5/12 = 0.41667 years in the above equation of depreciation.
So, 
y = 1040 * 0.961465659
y = 999.9242852
y = 1000 (Rounded to nearest integer).
Hence, the value of the bike after 5 months is $1000.
Answer:
This is a function
Step-by-step explanation:
If you do the Vertical Line Test you can see that the line passes through only one dot at a time. Therefore it is a function. If the line passed through more than one dot at a time then it wouldn't be a function.
