You can only cut down a integer number of trees. So you might look at a few integer values for x. As x get large the –x4 term dominates the expression for big losses. x = 0 is easy P(x) = -6. Without cutting any trees you have lost money Put x = 1 and you get for the terms in order -1 + 1 + 7 -1 -6 = 0. So P(x) crosses zero just before you cut the first tree. So you make a profit on only 1 tree. However when x=10 you are back into no profit. So compute a few values for x = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9.
B) y = -2x
when x = a
y = -2a
when x= 2a
y = -2(2a) = -4a
Answer:
(2.5, -.25)
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm not positive that I know exactly what they want on this one....but since you specifically asked me to look at your other question, I tried.
See pic.
V=LWH
L=8
W=7
H=5
V=8*7*5=280 in^3
you need 280 in^3 of water
