Answer: Dilation is a technique for creating similar figures. Each point is stretched outwards from the center point D by multiplying distances by the scale factor. (Outwards if the scale factor is bigger than 1.) Move the points A, B, and C to change the shape of the triangle.

To solve/simplify this all you have to do is group like terms (the x^2's with each other, the x's with each other, and the normal numbers, -8)

14x^2-8+5x-6x^2+2x

group the x^2 (add 14x^2 to -6x^2)

8x^2-8+5x+2x

group the x's together (add 5x and 2x together)

8x^2+7x-8

Your answer will be d) 8x^2+7x-8

For the function f(x)=3xsquared- 2x+5 find f(1) f(-2) and f(a)

Oksanka [162]

$f(x)=3x^2-2x+5\\\\
f(1):\ \ Substitude\ 1 \ as\ x\ into\ function:\\
f(1)=3*1^2-2*1+5=3-2+5=\textbf{6}\\\\
f(-2)\ \ Substitude\ x=-2\\
f(-2)=3*(-2)^2-2*(-2)+5=3*4+4+5=12+4+5=\textbf{21}\\\\
f(a)\ \ substitude\ x=a\\
f(a)=\underline{3a^2-2a+5}$
