What is f(-4) for the function f? f(x) = 2x + 3

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

A woman is standing at the edge of a slow-moving river which is one mile wide, and she wishes to return to her campground on the
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

the best option would be to swim

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello! To solve this problem we must follow the following steps.

1. remember the concept of uniform motion with constant speed, which establishes the following equation

t=\frac{X}{V}

where

t=time

x=distance

V=speed

2. Calculate the time it takes to swim and calculate the time it takes to walk

walking:

x=10mile

v=5milles/h

t=\frac{10}{5} =2h

swimming

x=1mile

v=3milles/h

t=\frac{1}{3} =0.3h

3. Compare both results and choose the one with the least time.

as you can see it takes less time swimming, so this would be the best way

There are 29235 marbles and 371 jacks. If you want to know the percentage of jacks, do you divide the first number by the second
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Correct answer: Two decimal places to the right

Step-by-step explanation:

We will set the classic proportion:

29,235   -    100%

     371    -        x%

29,235 : 371 = 100 : x  ⇒ 29,235 · x = 371 · 100

x = (371/ 29,235) · 100 = 0.0127 · 100 = 1.27%

x = 1.27%

You divide first number by the second and then multiply with 100,

which is the same as moving the decimal point two places to the right.

God is with you!!!

This is a "water tank" calculus problem that I've been working on and I would really appreciate it if someone could look at my w
Sedaia [141]
Part A

Everything looks good but line 4. You need to put all of the "2h" in parenthesis so the teacher will know you are squaring all of 2h. As you have it right now, you are saying "only square the h, not the 2". Be careful as silly mistakes like this will often cost you points. 

============================================================

Part B

It looks like you have the right answer. Though you'll need to use parenthesis to ensure that all of "75t/(2pi)" is under the cube root. I'm assuming you made a typo or forgot to put the parenthesis. 

dh/dt = (25)/(2pi*h^2)
2pi*h^2*dh = 25*dt
int[ 2pi*h^2*dh ] = int[ 25*dt ] ... applying integral to both sides
(2/3)pi*h^3 = 25t + C
2pi*h^3 = 3(25t + C)
h^3 = (3(25t + C))/(2pi)
h^3 = (75t + 3C)/(2pi)
h^3 = (75t + C)/(2pi)
h = [ (75t + C)/(2pi) ]^(1/3)

Plug in the initial conditions. If the volume is V = 0 then the height is h = 0 at time t = 0
0 = [ (75(0) + C)/(2pi) ]^(1/3)
0 = [ (0 + C)/(2pi) ]^(1/3)
0 = [ (C)/(2pi) ]^(1/3)
0^3 =  (C)/(2pi)
0 = C/(2pi)
C/(2pi) = 0
C = 0*2pi
C = 0 

Therefore the h(t) function is...
h(t) = [ (75t + C)/(2pi) ]^(1/3)
h(t) = [ (75t + 0)/(2pi) ]^(1/3)
h(t) = [ (75t)/(2pi) ]^(1/3)

Answer:
h(t) = [ (75t)/(2pi) ]^(1/3)

============================================================

Part C

Your answer is correct. 
Below is an alternative way to find the same answer

--------------------------------------

Plug in the given height; solve for t
h(t) = [ (75t)/(2pi) ]^(1/3)
8 = [ (75t)/(2pi) ]^(1/3)
8^3 = (75t)/(2pi)
512 = (75t)/(2pi)
(75t)/(2pi) = 512
75t = 512*2pi
75t = 1024pi
t = 1024pi/75
At this time value, the height of the water is 8 feet

Set up the radius r(t) function 
r = 2*h
r = 2*h(t)
r = 2*[ (75t)/(2pi) ]^(1/3) .... using the answer from part B

Differentiate that r(t) function with respect to t
r = 2*[ (75t)/(2pi) ]^(1/3)
dr/dt = 2*(1/3)*[ (75t)/(2pi) ]^(1/3-1)*d/dt[(75t)/(2pi)] 
dr/dt = (2/3)*[ (75t)/(2pi) ]^(-2/3)*(75/(2pi))
dr/dt = (2/3)*(75/(2pi))*[ (75t)/(2pi) ]^(-2/3)
dr/dt = (25/pi)*[ (75t)/(2pi) ]^(-2/3)

Plug in t = 1024pi/75 found earlier above
dr/dt = (25/pi)*[ (75t)/(2pi) ]^(-2/3)
dr/dt = (25/pi)*[ (75(1024pi/75))/(2pi) ]^(-2/3)
dr/dt = (25/pi)*[ (1024pi)/(2pi) ]^(-2/3)
dr/dt = (25/pi)*(1/64)
dr/dt = 25/(64pi)
getting the same answer as before

----------------------------

Thinking back as I finish up, your method is definitely shorter and more efficient. So I prefer your method, which is effectively this:
r = 2h, dr/dh = 2
dh/dt = (25)/(2pi*h^2) ... from part A
dr/dt = dr/dh*dh/dt ... chain rule
dr/dt = 2*((25)/(2pi*h^2))
dr/dt = ((25)/(pi*h^2))
dr/dt = ((25)/(pi*8^2)) ... plugging in h = 8
dr/dt = (25)/(64pi)
which is what you stated in your screenshot (though I added on the line dr/dt = dr/dh*dh/dt to show the chain rule in action)
