Answer:

f(3)=3

Step-by-step explanation:

This question asks us to find f(3). We want to find what f(x), or y is, when x is equal to 3.

f(x)=2x^2-5x

Substitute 3 in for x.

f(3)=2(3)^2-5(3)

Solve according to PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction

Evaluate the exponent first. 3^2 is the same as 3*3, which is equal to 9.

f(3)=2(9)-5(3)

Multiply 2 and 9

f(3)=18-5(3)

Multiply 5 and 3

f(3)=18-15

Subtract 15 from 18

f(3)=3

Answer:

f(3) = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2x^2 – 5x

Let x = 3

f(3) = 2(3)^2 - 5(3)

= 2*9 -15

= 18-15

A village wishes to measure the quantity of water that is piped to a factory during a typical morning. A gauge on the water line

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

570 m³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of water is the product of flow rate of water and the time taken. We are to get the volume of water used between 6 am and 9 am, that is for 3 hours (9 - 6).

We are given the flow rate at 6 am and the flow rate at 9 am, but this flow rate changes between 6 am and 9 am. To get the estimate of the water used, Let us assume that it flows at the same flow rate as it was at 6 am throughout, hence:

$V_L= 100 m^3/h * 3h=300\ m^3$

Also, let us assume that it flows at the same flow rate as it was at 9 am throughout, hence:

$V_R= 280 m^3/h * 3h=840\ m^3$

To get the best estimate of the total volume, let us find the average of the two values, hence:

$Volume=\frac{V_L+V_R}{2} =\frac{300+840}{2}=570\ m^3$
