What is the rate of change? I know it is decay already.
Just checking to make sure I know it is right.

Demonstrate the proof of your new polynomial identity through an algebraic proof and a numerical proof in an engaging way! make it so the whole world wants to purchase your polynomial identity and can't imagine living without it! you must: label and display your new polynomial identity prove that it is true through an algebraic proof, identifying each step demonstrate that your polynomial identity works on numerical relationships create your own using the columns below. see what happens when different binomials or trinomials are combined. square one factor from column a and add it to one factor from column b to develop your own identity. column a column b (x − y) (x2 + 2xy + y2) (x + y) (x2 − 2xy + y2) (y + x) (ax + b) (y − x) (cy + d)

An automated water dispenser fills packets with one liter of water on average, with a standard deviation of 5 milliliter. the manual says that after a year of operation the dispenser should be tested to see if it needs recalibration. a year later a number of filled packets are set aside and measured separately. it is found that the average packet now contains about 0.995 liters. does the dispenser need calibration? explain your answer.

Twice the sum of a number and 4 is equal to three times the difference of the number and 7. find the number.
