<span>Evaluate ƒ(–3) for ƒ(x) = –5x2 + 2x –1.
</span>ƒ(x) = –5x2 + 2x –1
First, Substitute x by -3 in the formula of the function and calculate as follows.
ƒ(-3) = –5x2 + 2x –1
Apply the Order of Operations.
ƒ(-3) = –5(-3)^2 + 2(-3) –1
Simplify
ƒ(-3) = –5(9) + 2(-3) –1
ƒ(-3) = –45 -6 –1
ƒ(-3) = -52

Therefore, The function of ƒ(–3) for ƒ(x) = –5x2 + 2x –1 is -52

Create a list of steps, in order, that will solve the following equation.
Vlada [557]

Answer:

a = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for a:

2 (a + 5) - 1 = 3

Hint: | Distribute 2 over a + 5.

2 (a + 5) = 2 a + 10:

(2 a + 10) - 1 = 3

Hint: | Group like terms in 2 a - 1 + 10.

Grouping like terms, 2 a - 1 + 10 = 2 a + (10 - 1):

(2 a + (10 - 1)) = 3

Hint: | Evaluate 10 - 1.

10 - 1 = 9:

2 a + 9 = 3

Hint: | Isolate terms with a to the left hand side.

Subtract 9 from both sides:

2 a + (9 - 9) = 3 - 9

Hint: | Look for the difference of two identical terms.

9 - 9 = 0:

2 a = 3 - 9

Hint: | Evaluate 3 - 9.

3 - 9 = -6:

2 a = -6

Hint: | Divide both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.

Divide both sides of 2 a = -6 by 2:

(2 a)/2 = (-6)/2

Hint: | Any nonzero number divided by itself is one.

2/2 = 1:

a = (-6)/2

Hint: | Reduce (-6)/2 to lowest terms. Start by finding the GCD of -6 and 2.

The gcd of -6 and 2 is 2, so (-6)/2 = (2 (-3))/(2×1) = 2/2×-3 = -3:

Qaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Kipish [7]

Answer:

32.8 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Amy is driving to Seattle. Suppose that the remaining distance to drive (in miles) is a linear function of her driving time (in minutes). When graphed, the function gives a line with a slope of -0.95. See the figure below. Amy has 48 miles remaining after 31 minutes of driving. How many miles will be remaining after 47 minutes of driving?

Answer: The general equation of a line is given as y = mx + c, where m is the slope of the line and c is the intercept on the y axis. Given that the slope is -0.95, substituting in the general equation :

y = -0.95x + c

Amy has 48 miles remaining after 31 minutes of driving, to find c, we substitute y = 48 and x = 31. Therefore:

48 = -0.95(31) + c

c = 48 + 0.95(31)

c = 48 + 29.45

c = 77.45

The equation of the line is

y = -0.95x + 77.45

After 47 minutes of driving, the miles remaining can be gotten by substituting x = 47 and finding y.

y = -0.95(47) + 77.45

y = -44.65 + 77.45

y = 32.8 miles

I really need help! This is last minute and its 1 am. I'm tired so I'm going to leave it to you guys to solve my problems and pr
Illusion [34]

Answer:

<h2><u>question 1</u></h2>

n^{2} - 20n -96 = 0

use product and sum method

product = -96

sum = -20

numbers needed = ( -24 , 4)

n - 24 = 0

n + 4 = 0

hence <u>n = 24 and n = -4 </u>

<u></u>

<h2><u>Question 2 </u></h2>

<u />x^{2} + 12 x = 48<u />

in the form ax^{2}  +bx +c = 0

= x^{2} +12x - 48

make use of the formula :

\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^{2} -4ac} }{2a}

replace values to make 2 equations :

1.\frac{-12+\sqrt{12^{2} -4*1*-48} }{2*1} = 3.17

2.\frac{-12-\sqrt{12^{2} -4*1*-48} }{2*1} = -15.2

hence <u>x = 3.17 and x = -15.2</u>

<u />

<h2><u>Question 3 </u></h2>

<u />x^{2} -14x+40=0<u />

use product and sum method

product = 40

sum = -14

numbers needed = (-10 , -4)

x - 10 = 0

x - 4 = 0

hence<u> x = 10 and x = 4</u>

<u />

<h2><u>Question 4 </u></h2>

<u />5b^{2} -20b-18 = 7<u />

in the form ax^{2}  +bx +c = 0

this becomes 5b^{2} -20b-18-7

= 5b^{2} -20b-25

can simplify by 5

= b^{2} -4b-5 =0\\

use product and sum method

product = -5

sum = -4

numbers needed (-5 , 1)

b-5 = 0

b + 1 = 0

hence <u>b = 5 and b = -1</u>

If QR= 3x-2, RS= 2x+1, QS=6x-3, and R is between Q and S, then RS=​
rewona [7]

Answer:

RS = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since R is between Q and S , then

QS = QR + RS , that is

6x - 3 = 3x - 2 + 2x + 1

6x - 3 = 5x - 1 ( subtract 5x from both sides )

x - 3 = - 1 ( add 3 to both sides )

x = 2

Then

RS = 2x + 1 = 2(2) + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5
