I would say B.
Your starting term is 10, so that is your a1 value. Each time you add 4 to the number before, like 10+4=14 and so on, so that would mean (a-1)+4.
Step-by-step explanation:
Really really sorry if I'm wrong...
<u>Y2 -Y1</u>
X2 - X1
<u>-20 - - 8</u>
-9 - -5
<u>-12</u>
-4
(simplified): <u>-3</u>
-1
Answer:
- zeros: x = -3, -1, +2.
- end behavior: as x approaches -∞, f(x) approaches -∞.
Step-by-step explanation:
I like to use a graphing calculator for finding the zeros of higher order polynomials. The attachment shows them to be at x = -3, -1, +2.
__
The zeros can also be found by trial and error, trying the choices offered by the rational root theorem: ±1, ±2, ±3, ±6. It is easiest to try ±1. Doing so shows that -1 is a root, and the residual quadratic is ...
x² +x -6
which factors as (x -2)(x +3), so telling you the remaining roots are -3 and +2.
___
For any odd-degree polynomial with a positive leading coefficient, the sign of the function will match the sign of x when the magnitude of x gets large. Thus as x approaches negative infinity, so does f(x).
First you need to calculate the commission earned on sales
(13,175 + 28,314 + 19,628) * 0.025 = 1,523.43
Then add to the monthly base salary
1,523.43 + 900 = 2,423.43
The total amount of money earned that month is $2,423.43.
