You can only cut down a integer number of trees. So you might look at a few integer values for x. As x get large the –x4 term dominates the expression for big losses. x = 0 is easy P(x) = -6. Without cutting any trees you have lost money Put x = 1 and you get for the terms in order -1 + 1 + 7 -1 -6 = 0. So P(x) crosses zero just before you cut the first tree. So you make a profit on only 1 tree. However when x=10 you are back into no profit. So compute a few values for x = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9.
It is likely D I am not positive
No solutions beacause you have to factor out numbers for -9 but they must equal -8 when adding them.
Answer:
x=-2, y=5. (-2, 5).
Step-by-step explanation:
15x-4y=-50
3x-2y=-16
---------------
15x-4y=-50
-5(3x-2y)=-5(-16)
------------------------
15x-4y=-50
-15x+10y=80
-------------------
6y=30
y=30/6
y=5
3x-2(5)=-16
3x-10=-16
3x=-16+10
3x=-6
x=-6/3
x=-2
