Darnell and Stephanie have competing refreshment stand businesses. Darnell's profit can be modeled with the polynomial 7c2 + 120 -250, where is the number of items sold. Stephanie's profit can be modeled with the polynomial 4c2 - 9c - 178. Show your work.

a. Write a polynomial that represents the difference between Darnell's profit and Stephanie's profit.

b. Write a polynomial to show how much they can expect to earn if they decided to combine their businesses.

it is c, trust i got your back lol

step-by-step explanation:

proportions are fractions that equal to each other. so if two fractions are the same, they are proportional.

let's check the answers to see if they are proportional.

question a is not proportional because you can't turn 1.5/3 to 3/9. if you try to multiply 1.5/3 by 2 or 3, you wont get 3/9. it's impossible to make the fractions the same.

question b is not proportional because you can't turn 22/33 to 4/6. 33 can't go into 6.

question c is proportional because when you multiply 2 and 3 by 71, you would get 142/213, and those fractions equal to each other

question d is proportional because when you divide 14 and 7 by 2, you would end up with 7/3.5, and those fractions equal to each other.
