The height of a tree is 10
10
meters long and it grows 1
1
cm in a year.
Then its height after one year = 10
10
meters 1

Its height after 3
3
years = 10
10
meters 3

Its height after 6
6
years = 10
10

Its height after x

years = 10
10
meters x
x

Where x
x
represents an unknown number. From the last line, we can find height of the tree after a certain number of years by taking x
x
equal to that number. For example, we simply let x=15
x
=
15
, 25
25
and 55
55
. Thus, the value of x
x
depends on our choice. We can give x
x
any value or number we want. In other words, the value of x
x
is not fixed, it varies from one situation to the other. Therefore, we call x
x
a variable whereas 10
10
is a fixed number whole value does not change. So 10
10
therefore is called a constant.

Answer: the amount of money she can spend is $1875
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
f(x) = x^3 - x^2 -2x
Step-by-step explanation:
If x = a is a zero of a polynomial, then x-a is a factor of the polynomial. Given the factors of a polynomial, the polynomial can be obtained by multiplying the factors.
The factors of the given polynomial are;
x - 2
x + 1
x
Multiplying the first two factors;
(x-2)(x+1) = x^2 + x -2x -2
= x^2 -x -2
We finally multiply this result by x to obtain our polynomial;
f(x) = x ( x^2 -x -2)
= x^3 - x^2 -2x
which is a cubic polynomial since it has 3 roots.
