Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the zero x = a of f(x) then f(a) = 0
(5)
f(9) =9³ - 8(9)² - 2(9) - 63 = 729 - 648 - 18 - 63 = 0
Hence x = 9 is a zero of the polynomial
(6)
2 - 3(- 3)³ - 36(- 3)² - 37(- 3) - 26 = 162 + 81 - 324 + 111 - 26 = 4 ≠ 0
Hence x = - 3 is not a zero of the polynomial

A. First let us start with the linear model.
The equation is in the form of y = m x + b
Calculating for the slope m:
m = (309,587 – 50,000) / (2007 – 1997)
m = 25,958.7
Subsituting:
y = 25,958.7 x + b
Taking x = 1997, y = 50,000. Solve for b:
50,000 = 25,958.7 (1997) + b
b = -51,789,523.9
The complete equation is therefore:
y = 25,958.7 x - 51,789,523.9
B. The exponential model has the following form:
y = a b^x
where a and b are constants
Taking x1= 1997, y1 = 50,000; x2 = 2007, y2 = 309,587
50,000 = a b^1997
309,587 = a b^2007
Combining in terms of a:
50,000 / b^1997 = 309,587 / b^2007
b^2007 / b^1997 = 309,587 / 50,000
b^10 = 6.19174
b = 1.2
Substituting:
y = a 1.2^x
Solving for a:
50,000 = a 1.2^1997
a = 3.75 x 10^-154
The complete equation is:
y = 3.75 x 10^-154 * 1.2^x
