Answer:
$7.28
Step-by-step explanation:
The average price, or the expected price, of any item in this specialty store is given by the weighted average of each item's price. That is, the sum of the products of each individual price by its corresponding sales mix:
The average price of any item in the store is $7.28
The two at the top technically means how many times the number in the bracket times ITSELF by, so its technically -3 x -3 which is +9 , cause a negative x negative = positive
2x^2 - 8x - 24
First, we can factor a 2 out of this expression to simplify it.
2(x^2 - 4x - 12)
Now, we can try factoring this two ways: by using the quadratic formula, or by using the AC method.
We're gonna try using the AC method first.
List factors of -12.
1 * -12
-1 * 12
2 * -6
-2 * 6 (these digits satisfy the criteria.)
Split the middle term.
2(x^2 - 2x + 6x - 12)
Factor by grouping.
2(x(x - 2) + 6(x - 2)
Rearrange terms.
<h3><u>(2)(x + 6)(x - 2) is the fully factored form of the given polynomial.</u></h3>
The percentage change is 20%
The answer is the third option
