I will give you branilest! This is due and if I fail this I will have an F. While in New York City, is it a better deal for a group of friends to take a taxi or the subway to get from the Empire State Building to the Metropolitan Museum of Art? Explain your reasoning.
Here is some information about New York City and its transportation system.
Information about NYC taxi cabs:

As of 2020, taxi cabs charge an initial fee of $2.50. Then there is an additional charge of $0.50 per 1/5 mile if the car is traveling about 12 miles per hour. In slower or stopped traffic, the additional fee is $0.50 per minute.

Information about the NYC subways:

As of 2020, a single subway ride is 2.75. However, multiple day passes can be purchased at a discount rate.

Information about the NYC tourist attractions:

The distance between the Empire State Building and the Metropolitan Museum of Art varies between 2.5 miles to 3.2 miles depending on your route.

answer

you start with $5 and save $10 a week until you have at least $45wer

step-by-step explanation:

1. when "a" is a root of a polynomial, (x -a) is a factor of it. for the three roots given, the factors of the desired polynomial are (x +2)(x -1/2)(x -3).

in order to make the leading coefficient be negative, we need to multiply this product by a negative number. any negative number will do, but we choose a small (magnitude) value that will eliminate the fraction: -2.

then

f(x) = -2(x +2)(x -1/2)(x -3) = -(x +2)(2x -1)(x -3)

= -(2x² +3x -2)(x -3)

= -(2x³ -3x² -11x +6)

f(x) = -2x³ +3x² +11x -6

2. a graph created by the desmos on-line graphing calculator is shown, and the zeros are highlighted.

3. as indicated in part 1, the multiplier of this equation can be anything and the zeros will remain the same. you want a negative leading coefficient, so the "anything" is restricted to any of the infinite number of numbers that will make that be the case.
