Answer: 8p^3 + 10p^2 + 14p</h3>
Explanation:
The outer term 2p is distributed among the three terms inside the parenthesis. We will multiply 2p by each term inside
2p times 4p^2 = 2*4*p*p^2 = 8p^3
2p times 5p = 2*5*p*p = 10p^2
2p times 7 = 2*7p = 14p
The results 8p^3, 10p^2 and 14p are added up to get the final answer shown above. We do not have any like terms to combine, so we leave it as is.
The piece-wise linear functions can be written as follows:
- .

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>
A linear function is modeled by:
y = mx + b
In which:
- m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
- b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.
For x equal or less than -2, the line passes through (-3,-3) and (-2,-2), hence the rule is:
.
For x greater than -2 up to 1, the y-intercept is of -7, and the line also passes through (1,-8), hence the rule is:
.
For x greater than 1, the function goes through (2,-5) and (3,-3), hence the slope is:
m = (-3 - (-5))(3 - 2) = 2.
The rule is:
y = 2x + b.
When x = 2, y = -5, hence:
-5 = 2(2) + b
b = -9.
Hence:
.

Oh, I remember this one. Here's this if you need it, if it doesn't help then let me know.
Answer:
3.
Step-by-step explanation:
4$ = 1 pack
(think: what times 4 is 12? 3! so we need to muliply both sides of the equal sign by 3, so we can turn the 4 into a 12. Remember, what you do to on side, you must do to the other. )
4$ = 1 pack
*3 *3
12$ = 3 packs
so your answer is 3.
