Paul predicts that n stalks of corn planted together will produce (2n2–2n)(2n2–2n) ears of corn. if paul plants three corn plants, how many ears of corn does paul expect to harvest? 24 ears 30 ears 12 ears 6 ears

Given that the production of n stalks of corn planted has been modeled by (2n^2-2n), then the approximate ears of corn produced by 3 stalks will be given by:
2n^2-2n
plugging in n=3 in the formula we get:
2(3)^2-2(3)
simplifying we get:
2(9)-6
=18-6
=12
the answer is: 12 ears

51

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem states "the Panthers won 40 games out of 17 games"

It is impossible to win more games than the number of games.

Perhaps the problem should state "the Panthers won 17 games out of 40 games"

If this is correct, then we can answer the question with a proportion.

17 wins is to 40 games as x wins is to 120 games

17/40 = x/120

40 * x = 17 * 120

Divide both sides by 40.

x = 17 * 3

x = 51
