Simplify the following polynomial (5x^4 – 9x^3 + 7x – 1) + (-8x^4 + 4x^2 – 3x + 2) - (-4x^3 + 5x - 1)(2x – 7)

-3x^4 - 13x^3 + 14x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

(5x^4 – 9x^3 + 7x – 1) + (-8x^4 + 4x^2 – 3x + 2) - (-4x^3 + 5x - 1)(2x – 7)

simplify multiplied terms

(-4x^3 + 5x - 1)(2x – 7)

(-4x^3+10x-8)

group like terms together

(5x^4-8x^4) + (-9x^3-4x^3) + (7x-3x+10x) + (-1+2-8)

simplify grouped terms

-3x^4 - 13x^3 + 14x - 7

6, 10

9, -13

12, -21

18, -23

step-by-step explanation:

you just add 6 to the x-coordinate and subtract 10 from the y-coordinate.

answer: the price of one pound cabbage = $ 0.8

the point (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds cabbage is $ 8

step-by-step explanation:

since, here is a proportional relation between the number of pounds of cabbage (x) and the price in dollars (y).

therefore, we can write,

⇒ y = k x

where k is the constant of proportionality.

now, point (5,4) is in the line.

thus, it will satisfies the above equation of line.

⇒ 4 = 5 k

⇒ k = 0.8

thus, the equation of the line is,

y = 0.8 x

a) for x = 1,

y = 0.8

therefore, the cost of one pound of cabbage is 0.8 dollars.

b) in the below graph (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds of cabbage is 8 dollars.
