Essay question: show all work. Suzie’s flower shop estimates that supplies costs for one month will be given by the polynomial 9x^2 – 8x + 1. She estimates that utilities costs for one month is given by 8x – 1. Find and simplify an expression that would estimate Suzie’s total costs for one month.
.
"total costs" = "cost of supplies" + "cost of utilities"
"total costs" = (9x^2 – 8x + 1) + (8x – 1)
"total costs" = 9x^2 – 8x + 1 + 8x – 1
"total costs" = 9x^2 – 8x + 8x
"total costs" = 9x^2
