Suzie’s flower shop estimates that supplies costs for one month will be given by the polynomial 2x2 – 7x – 4. She estimates that utilities costs for one month is given by 3x – 3. Find and simplify an expression that would estimate Suzie’s total costs for one month.
Total Cost = f(x)
f(x) = (2x^2 - 7x - 4) + (3x - 3)
Combine like terms
f(x) = 2x^2 - 7x + 3x - 4 - 3
f(x) = 2x^2 - 4x - 7, cost for one month
