Subtract.
(5x4+ 3x3 - 6) - (8x2 – 3x+5)

5x^4+3x^3-8x^2+3x-11

Step-by-step explanation:

(5x^4+ 3x^3 - 6) - (8x^2 – 3x+5)

Distribute the minus sign

(5x^4+ 3x^3 - 6) - 8x^2 + 3x-5

Combine like terms

5x^4+3x^3-8x^2+3x-11

i am not sure :

step-by-step explanation:

(a) {a₁, a₁r, a₁r², … a₁rⁿ⁻¹, …}

(b) $59 398

step-by-step explanation:

(a) the annual sequence of profits

aₙ = a₁rⁿ⁻¹

the model for the sequence of profits is {a₁, a₁r, a₁r², … a₁rⁿ⁻¹, …} .

(b) profit after 15 yr

  a₁ = $ 30 000

  r = 1.05

a₁₅ = 30 000 × 1.05¹⁴

a₁₅ = 30 000 × 1.979 93

a₁₅ = $59 398

the profit in year 15 will be $59 398.
