Each colection day: D
Number of tops collected on that day: N
D1=1; N1=2
D2=3; N2=8
1) Linear model
N-N1=m(D-D1)
m=(N2-N1)/(D2-D1)
m=(8-2)/(3-1)
m=(6)/(2)
m=3
N-N1=m(D-D1)
N-2=3(D-1)
N-2=3D-3
N-2+2=3D-3+2
N=3D-1
when D=6:
N=3(6)-1
N=18-1
N=17
<span>What is the number of tops collected on the sixth day based on the linear model?
</span>The number of tops collected on the sixth day based on the linear model is 17.
2) Exponential model
N=a(b)^D
D=D1=1→N=N1=2→2=a(b)^1→2=ab→ab=2 (1)
D=D2=3→N=N2=8→8=a(b)^3→8=a(b)^(1+2)
8=a(b)^1(b)^2→8=ab(b)^2 (2)
Replacing (1) in (2)
(2) 8=2(b)^2
Solving for b:
8/2=2(b)^2/2
4=(b)^2
sqrt(4)=sqrt( b)^2 )
2=b
b=2
Replacing b=2 in (1)
(1) ab=2
a(2)=2
Solving for a:
a(2)/2=2/2
a=1
Then, the exponential model is N=1(2)^D
N=(2)^D
When D=6:
N=(2)^6
N=64
<span>What is the number of tops collected on the sixth day based on the exponential model?
</span><span>The number of tops collected on the sixth day based on the exponential model is 64</span>
<span>-6(-5)+12
Multiply -6 by -5.
Note: Whenever you multiply or divide a negative number by another negative number, it automatically becomes a positive number.

Answer:
(x + 5) (x^2 -3)
Step-by-step explanation:

Do the grouping:

Then factor out
in the first and −3 in the second group.

Factor out the common term x + 5 by using the distributive property.
Polynomial
is not factored in since it does not have any rational roots, thus getting the following:

Answer: option B
Step-by-step explanation:
Miguel has to take two quizzes
1) 4 true or false questions on History with a 0.5 chance of acing the quiz
Expected number of correct questions = np
n = number of questions
p = probability of acing the test
Expected number of correct questions = 4 × 0.5 = 2
2) 3 multiple choice questions on Science with a 0.2 chance of acing the quiz.
Expected number of correct questions = 0.2 × 3 = 0.6
It is evident that guessing would yield a worse result in the Science quiz with less than 1 question expected to be correct than history, where he is still expected to get 2 questions correctly by guessing.
$30 because if you add 30 to those numbers it would give you the next months amount.
