You have a negative exponent so you have to bring the -2 down : 1/-2^3. Then you multiply the -2*-2*-2 which is -8 so you get 1/-8 or -1/8. It means the same thing.
These three individual items take 1/4, 1/6, and 1/8 of the budget. The part of the budget that they take all together is the sum of those individual parts. You need to add up 1/4, 1/6, and 1/8. To do that, you'll need to put all three fractions over a common denominator first, the
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
P(x) = a(x - 2)2(x + 4), a ≠ 0
Use the given point (0,-10) to find a.
-10 = a(0 - 2)2(0 + 5) = a(4)(5) = 20a
a = -10/20 = -1/2
P(x) = (-1/2)(x - 2)2(x + 5)
You can expand this if you wish
The answer is 3167.
First, multiply the numbers by their place values:
3 x 1000 = 3000
16 x 10 = 160
7 x 1 = 7
Then, add together the sums: 3000 + 160 + 7 = 3167
