Start with the general formula. The key word is difference. So the general formula is
D(x) = W(x) - R(x) Now substitute in the values for W(x) and R(x)
D(x) = 0.002x^3 - 0.01x^2 - (x^2 - 4x + 13) Be very careful about the sign in front of the brackets.
D(x) = 0.002x^3 - 0.01x^2 - x^2 + 4x - 13 Do you see what that minus sign did? It affected all 3 terms.
D(x) = 0.002x^3 - 1.01x^2 + 4x - 13 <em>Note: -0.01 - 1x^2 = - 1.01 x^2</em>
That gives you a clear cut answer
C<<<<< answer.
That sign is the worst part of the question. Make sure you understand what it did.

Answer:
48
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume number of n.
The number is decreased by 15.
Decreasing by 15 means, we need to subtract 15 from that number.
So, it would be come n-15.
Now, it is said that the number would become less than 2.
So, we need to setup an inequality:
n-15 is less than 2.
<h3>n-15 < 2 : required inequality .</h3>
Adding 15 on both sides, we get
n-15+15 < 2+15
n < 17.
<h3>So, we could say the number would be less than 17.</h3>
