Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
So I'm going to make the table here.
x f(x)
-3 -2
-2 0
-1 2
0 2
1 0
2 -8
3 -10
4 -20
Without looking at the answers we are going to deduce what intervals could make f(x) positive. Well, where is it shown as positive for the numbers given? well f(-1) and f(0) are positive, both at 2. then both f(-2) and f(1) are 0, then everything below -2 and above 1 make f(x) negative, so it looks like everything up until -2 is negative, but increasing then at -2 it turns to 0 and keeps increasing at least until some time after f(-1). It might even just stay at 2 until it gets to f(0), and then after that it decreases. Hopefully that makes sense.
Given the description, and if you on't understand I can try to explain more carefully, where does it look like it's positive? Well, it goes from negative to 0 at -2, then after that it's positive until 1, where it turns to 0 again, before decreasing. so everything between -2 and 1 look to make f(x) positive. Since f(-2) and f(1) don't themselves though it means they are not included, so you use parenthesis.
so the answer is (-2,1) Again, let me know if you need more of an explanation.
The sequence here start out by adding 3 then 5 then 7
we see an increse of 2 to what we are adding so to get the next one we would add 2 to 7 to get 9 then add that to 22 to get 31
Answer:
-439
Step-by-step explanation:
Think of the question as s(f(-7))
First replace x with -7 in the equation f(x)= 3x
s(-7) = 3*(-7)
s(-7) = -21
now it is s(-21)
we substitute -21 into the s(x) equation to get 
That gives you 2-441 = -439
