The total sales for Product A over the four quarters is 1500 units.

The total sales in Q1 is 1200 units when all products are summed up.

The total sales of Product A over the four quarters is 1300 units.

The total sales of Product A over the four quarters is 1300 units.

The total sales of Product B over the four quarters is 1200 units.

The total surface area of a cube is given by 6s². For a side length of 4 cm, the total surface area is 6(4)² = 96 cm².

The total surface area of a sphere is given by SA = 4πr². Here, r = 7, so SA = 4π(7)² = 196π.

The passage conveys that consumerism has detrimental effects on the environment.

Calculating each term, we have 5^0 = 1, 5^1 = 5, and 5^2 = 25. Therefore, 1 + 5 + 25 = 31.

Using the property of exponents, (5^3 * 5^2) = 5^(3+2) = 5^5. Thus, (5^5) / (5^4) = 5^(5-4) = 5^1 = 5.

5^(-2) is equal to 1/(5^2) = 1/25 = 0.04.

Using the property of exponents, we have 5^(2 + 3 - 4) = 5^1 = 5.

Using the property of exponents a^m / a^n = a^(m-n), we have 5^(x+1) / 5^(x-1) = 5^((x+1)-(x-1)) = 5^2.

log_10(0.1) = log_10(10^-1) = -1.

log_2(8) = 3 and log_2(4) = 2, thus log_2(8) + log_2(4) = 3 + 2 = 5.

Substituting x = 1 into P(x) gives P(1) = 2(1)^2 + 3(1) - 5 = 0.

Substituting x = 1 into P(x) gives P(1) = 1^3 - 3(1^2) + 4 = 2.

Substituting x = 2 into P(x) gives P(2) = 2^3 - 3(2^2) + 4 = 8 - 12 + 4 = 0.

The coefficient of x^2 is given by 4C2 * (3^2) * (-2)^2 = 6 * 9 * 4 = 216.

The coefficient of x^4 in (3x - 2)^6 is given by 6C4 * (3^4) * (-2)^2 = 15 * 81 * 4 = 4860.

The coefficient is C(8,5) * (3^5) * (-2)^3 = 56 * 243 * (-8) = -6720.

Substituting x = 2 into the polynomial gives p(2) = 3(2^2) - 2(2) + 1 = 12 - 4 + 1 = 9.

Substituting x = 2 into the polynomial gives p(2) = 3(2^2) - 4(2) + 1 = 12 - 8 + 1 = 5.
