Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) is like y in a linear equation. There is one major difference. F(x) tells you what to substitute on the right every time you see an x.
f(a) = -3a + 7
f(b) = -3b + 7
For this question a and b have values. Now work with the right side only. This is the quickest way to get the answer, but it is only marginally correct.
f(a) = -3(-8) + 7 = 24 + 7 = 31
f(b) = -3(7) + 7 = -21 + 7 = - 14
f(a) + f(b) = 31 - 14 = 17
f(a) - f(b) = 31 - (-14) = 31 + 14 = 45
I agree because parentheses always go first and 4+5 equals 9 so in conclusion ralph is correct and the answer would be 30
Answer:
the answer is c

Answer:
Darius took (17-2)^2 instead of 17-2^2, ignoring the order of operations. The answer is 13.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve 17-2^2, Darius should first square two, then subtract that from 17. By subtracting 2 from 17 first, you ignore the PEMDAS rule (parenthesis, exponents, multiplication/division, addition/subtraction).
2^2=2
17-4=13
Applying the rule for dilation, we will multiply the scale factor to its coordinates.
Having Q (0,2) and DO 0.5(x.y), the coordinates of Q' will be:
x = (.5)(0) = 0
y = (.5)(2) = 1
Therefore coordinates of Q' is (0,1)
*Having a scale factor of >1, the figure is said to be reduced.
