Answer:
h (-5) = 41/4 or 10.25
h (-2) = -3
h (3) = 25/4 or 6.25
Step-by-step explanation:
h (-5) = 1/4(-5)^2 + 4
h (-5) = 1/4(25) + 4
h (-5) = 41/4 or 10.25
h (-2) = -3 (this is given to you in the function)
h (3) = 1/4 (3)^2 + 4
h (3) = 1/4(9) + 4
h (3) = 25/4 or 6.25
Plug in x with -1

A negative number in parenthesis times an exponent is always positive.
8+3-7=4
Answer:
- 15 - 7 (Parentheses)
- 3² (Exponents)
- 8 × 2 (Multiplication)
- 40 ÷ 8 (Division)
- 5 + 9 (Addition starting from the leftmost)
- 14 + 16 (Addition after the first addition operation)
Concept:
When encountering questions that ask for simplifying expressions through operation, following the PEMDAS method would be easier:
- <u>P</u>arentheses
- <u>E</u>xponents
- <u>M</u>ultiplication
- <u>D</u>ivision
- <u>A</u>ddition
- <u>S</u>ubtraction
Therefore, the whole process of simplifying the given expression should follow the PEMDAS method. <u>For extra</u>, whenever there are two occurences of the same operation, then prioritize the leftmost and go right.
