A cable company charges $70 per month for cable service to existing customers. a. Find a linear equation representing the relationship between x, the number of months of service, and y, the total amount paid in dollars by an existing customer.

b. For new customers, there is an additional one-time $100 service fee. Repeat the previous problem for new customers.

c. When the two equations are graphed in the coordinate plane, how are they related to each other geometrically?

a: y=70x

b: y=70x+100

c: They are parallel to each other, with equation b's line being 100 dollars above equation a.

Step-by-step explanation:

They both have the same slope (70), but new customers will have a y intercept of 100 because of the one-time fee.

- 2 + 10x³ - 21x² + 19x - 4

step-by-step explanation:

each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor

x²(- 2x² + 4x - 1) - 3x(- 2x² + 4x - 1) + 4(- 2x² + 4x - 1) ← distribute

= - 2 + 4x³ - x² + 6x³ - 12x² + 3x -8x² + 16x - 4

collect like terms

= - 2 + 10x³ - 21x² + 19x - 4 ← in standard form
