Multiply and simplify
(x-4)(x^2 - 5x - 6)

x^3 -9x^2 +14x +24

Step-by-step explanation:

(x-4)(x^2 - 5x - 6)

Multiply the x by everything in the second term

x * (x^2 - 5x - 6)

x^3 -5x^2 -6x

Multiply the -4 by everything in the second term

-4 * (x^2 - 5x - 6)

-4x^2 +20x +24

Add everything together

I like to line them up vertically

x^3 -5x^2 -6x

      -4x^2 +20x +24

x^3 -9x^2 +14x +24

y=sec x is the correct answer

~batmans wife dun dun

the height of the surface increases from the center out to the sides of the road.

step-by-step explanation:

as we move out we move away from the x-axis.

and as mentioned in the problem statement that height of a road increases when we move away from the center x.

hence proved that 3rd option

the height of the surface increases from the center out to the sides of the road.

is the correct option.
