A company buys a new bulldozer for $97900. The company depreciates the bulldozer linearly over its useful life of 17
years. Its salvage value at the end of 17 years is $18000. Depreciation is the decrease or loss in value of the equipment
due to age, wear, or market conditions.
A) Express the value of the bulldozer, V. as a function of how many years old it is, t.

B) The value of the bulldozer after 3 years is $

1. when "a" is a root of a polynomial, (x -a) is a factor of it. for the three roots given, the factors of the desired polynomial are (x +2)(x -1/2)(x -3).

in order to make the leading coefficient be negative, we need to multiply this product by a negative number. any negative number will do, but we choose a small (magnitude) value that will eliminate the fraction: -2.

then

f(x) = -2(x +2)(x -1/2)(x -3) = -(x +2)(2x -1)(x -3)

= -(2x² +3x -2)(x -3)

= -(2x³ -3x² -11x +6)

f(x) = -2x³ +3x² +11x -6

2. a graph created by the desmos on-line graphing calculator is shown, and the zeros are highlighted.

3. as indicated in part 1, the multiplier of this equation can be anything and the zeros will remain the same. you want a negative leading coefficient, so the "anything" is restricted to any of the infinite number of numbers that will make that be the case.

step-by-step explanation:

to determine whether a given function is even, we simply substitute x with -x in the expression. if the result after simplification is identical to the original equation, then the function is said to be even other wise odd.

f(-x) = (-x)^2 - (-x) + 8

      = x^2 + x +8

the resulting function is not identical to the original one;

f(-x) ≠ f(x)

therefore, f(x) is not an even function

c.

step-by-step explanation:

simple you would first have to get   a negative number where as 1 to be multiplied by 24 and then you would have to multiply 6 time 4 and then repeat that process until you reach your term
