The answer to this is (x-10) (x+4)
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = x² - x³
f(-2) = (-2)² - (-2)³
= 4 - (-8)
= 4 + 8 = 12
I take it that only 7 stamps are misplaced and that we are asked for the total value of the stamps including those which have been misplaced.
If each is worth $0.15 then, the total worth of 7 stamps is $1.05. Then, we add this value to the value of his remaining stamps, $5.55, the answer would be $6.60.
