POINTS 20POINTS!!!
in the year 2005, the average cost of a car could be modeled by the equation C= -15x2 + 20x - 3 where x is the number of years since 2005. By the year 2010 the average cost had changed, and the equation could be modeled by C= -10x2 + 30x - 2. Find the difference in average cost equation for cars between 2005 and 2010.

Remark

The difference is C_2005 - C_2010

Calculation

C_2005 - C_2010 = (-15x^2 + 20x - 3) - (- 10X^2 + 30x - 2)     Remove the brackets

C_2005 - C_2010 = - 15x^2 +20x - 3 + 10^2 - 30x + 2 Look how the signs change in the second set of brackets.

C_2005 - C_2010 = -5x^2 - 10x - 1 Answer
