You can put this solution on YOUR website! Suzie's flower shop estimates that supplies costs for one month will be given
by the polynomial 5x^2+4x-7.
She estimates that utilities costs for one month is given by 8x+8.
Find and simplify an expression that would estimate Suzie's total costs for one month.
:
Just add the two expenses to find the Cost in terms of x
C(x) = (5x^2 + 4x - 7) + (8x + 8)
Combine like terms
C(x) = 5x^2 + 4x + 8x - 7 + 8
C(x) = 5x^2 + 12x + 1; total monthly cost
