Answer: f(-4) = -5

Step-by-step explanation: Here we're given the function

f(x) = 2x + 3 and we're asked to find f(-4).

In other words, if we put a x into our function, we get a 2x + 3 out.

So what happens when we put a -4 into the function?

Well if we put a -4 into the function, that's f(-4), we get a 2(-4) + 3 out.

Now all we have to do is simplify on the right side.

2(-4) is -8 so we have -8 + 3 which is -5.

So f(-4) is -5.

Answer:

$\Huge \boxed{{f(-4)=-5}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The function f(x) is given.

f(x) = 2x + 3

f(-4)

The input for the function f(x) is -4.

x is the input value.

x = -4

Replace x with -4.

f(-4) = 2(-4) + 3

Solve for the brackets.

f(-4) = -8 + 3

Evaluate.

f(-4) = -5

Solve for n: y=6nx – 10 And how to write the final answer

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

y=6nx-10

y+10=6nx

y+10/6x=n

therefore, n=y+10/6x.

What are the possible values of x in 8x2 + 4x = -1?

Westkost [7]

Answer:

The possible values of x are:

x= $\frac{-1+\sqrt{3}}{4} \,\,or\,\, x= 0.18$

and

x= $\frac{-1-\sqrt{3}}{4} \,\, or \,\, x= -0.68$

Step-by-step explanation:

$8x^2+4x+1=0$

Using Quadratic formula to solve this equation:

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\a = 8 \,\, b = 4\,\, c = -1\\Putting \,\, values \,\, in \,\, the\,\, equation\\x= \frac{-4\pm\sqrt{(4)^2-4(8)(-1)}}{2(8)}\\x= \frac{-4\pm\sqrt{16+32}}{16}\\x= \frac{-4\pm\sqrt{48}}{16}\\x= \frac{-4+ \sqrt{48}}{16} \,\, and \,\, x= \frac{-4- \sqrt{48}}{16}\\x= \frac{-1+ \sqrt{3}}{4} \,\, and \,\, x= \frac{-1- \sqrt{3}}{4}$

The possible values of x are:

x= $\frac{-1+\sqrt{3}}{4} \,\,or\,\, x= 0.18$

and

x= $\frac{-1-\sqrt{3}}{4} \,\, or \,\, x= -0.68$

Which is a correct first step for solving this equation? −3x+2−5x−7=4x+2

In-s [12.5K]

Answer: x = - 7/12

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x + 2 - 5x - 7 = 4x + 2

=> -8x - 5 = 4x + 2

=> -12x = 7

=> x = - 7/12
