Answer:

$905.06 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:

7.25% of 843.88

In order to find the answer, we use the formula to calculate percentages, then we add that answer to the initial cost of the laptop.

$\frac{p\times c}{100}$
$\frac{7.25\times843.88}{100}=7.25\times843.88=6118.13\div100=61.1813$
$61.1813$
$1 < 5$
$61.18$

<u>Now add:
</u> $843.88+61.18=905.06$
$=905.06$

Which means the laptop after a 7.25% sales tax costs "$905.06 dollars."

Hope this helps.

Well the way I see it is he started with 4 villager so I would see the equation to be

1.13x times 17+4 would equal the amount of villagers he could have which would be 23.21 as for the equation it would be 1.13x times 17 plus four equals the number of villagers total

Given a function <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=f%28x%29%3D3x%5E4-5x%5E2%2B2x-3" id="TexFormula1" title="f(x)=3x^4-5x^2+2x-3"

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{f(-1) = -7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve for this function, we need to substitute in our value of x inside to find f(x). Since we are trying to evalue f(-1), we will substitute -1 in as x to our equation.

$f(-1) = 3(-1)^4 - 5(-1)^2 + 2(-1) - 3$

Now we can solve for the function by multiplying/subtracting/adding our known values.

Starting with the first term to the last term:

$3(-1)^4 = 3$

<u><em>WAIT</em></u><em>!</em><em> How is this possible? </em> $-1^4 = -1$ (according to my calculator), and $3 \cdot -1 = -3$ , not 3!

It's important to note that taking a power of a negative number and multiplying a negative number are two different things. Let's use $-2^2$ as an example.

What your calculator did was follow BEMDAS since it wasn't explicitly told not to.

BEMDAS:

- Brackets

- Exponents

- Multiplication/Division

- Addition/Subtraction

Examining the equation, your calculator used this rule properly. Note that exponents come over multiplication.

So rather than being <em>"-2 squared"</em> - it's <em>"the negative of of 2 squared."</em>

Tying this back into our problem, the squared method would only be true if it looks like $-1^4$ . However, since we're substituting in -1, it looks like $(-1)^4$ , so the expression reads out as "<u><em>-1 to the fourth.</em></u>"

MULTIPLYING -1 by itself 4 times results in $-1\cdot-1\cdot-1\cdot-1=1$ .

Applying this logic to our original term, $3(-1)^4$ :

$3(-1\cdot-1\cdot-1\cdot-1)$
$3(1)$
$3$

Therefore, our first term is 3.

Let's move on to our second and third terms.

Second term: $-5x^2$

$-5(-1)^2$

Applying the same logic from our first term:

$-5(-1 \cdot -1)$
$-5(1)$
$-5$

Third term: $2x$

$2(-1) = -2$

-3 is just -3, no influence of x.

Combining our terms, we have $3-5-2-3$ .

This comes out to be -7, hence, the value of $f(-1)$ for our function $f(x)=3x^4-5x^2+2x-3$ is <u>-7</u>.

Hope this helped!
