Q4. Do the math and express without negative exponents: x^7 / x^3
Q5. Do the math and express without negative exponents: (x^7)^(-3)
Q6. In January of 1990, you deposited $1000 into an account that guaranteed an annual interest rate of 3%. You didn’t touch your money for 17 years, and in January 2007, you took out all your money. How much did you have? Round to the nearest cent.
Q7. Express in the OTHER notation (if it’s in scientific notation, re-express in regular notation; if it’s in regular notation, change it to scientific notation):
a. 5,900,000
b. 0.00082
c. 5 x 10^(-6)
d. 8.1 x 10^7
e. 2 E-08
Q8. Multiply: (4X^3 – 7X^2 + X – 2) * (3X^2 – 2X + 3)
Q9. Divide: (4X^3 – 7X^2 + X – 2) / (X + 6)
Q10. Do the math: (3X – 2)^2
Q11. Do the math: (3X – 2)*(3X + 2)
Q12. Factor completely: 5X^2+5X-30
Q13. Factor completely: 8X^2+2X-3
Q14. Factor completely: 4X^2 – 81
Q15. The length of a rectangular field is (3X^2 – 2X – 8) feet. The width is (X^2 + 4X + 1) feet. Write the polynomial that represents the AREA of the field. Be sure to use correct units.
Q16. An object is thrown upward at an initial velocity of 72 feet per second, from a platform 40 feet high. The function that describes the object’s height in feet above the ground t seconds after its release is as follows:
h(t) = -16t^2 + 72t + 40
The -16 times t^2 is due to gravity, on planet Earth, and using feet and seconds as our units of measure. The 72 times t is due to the initial velocity of the object. The constant term 40 is due to the initial height of the object.
Find h(3.5) and interpret it. Be sure to use correct units.
Q17. See Q16. When will the object hit the ground? (When will the height above the ground be exactly 0 feet?) Be sure to use correct units.
Q18. Solve: X^2 + 5X – 24 = 0
Provide complete and step by step solution for the question and show calculations and use formulas.
