How do you find the answer for f(5) when f(x)= -3x^4+7x^2-2

You find f(5) the same way you evaluate any function. Put the number where the variable is and do the arithmetic.

When high powers are involved, it can simplify the arithmetic a little to do some factoring:
.. f(x) = (-3x^2 +7)*x^2 -2
.. f(5) = (-3*25 +7)*25 -2 = -68*25 -2
.. f(5) = -1702

Solve the following equation for x<br><br> 5(x - 1) = -45

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

solution: x = -8

Step by step:

1) 5x-5+5 = -45+5 : Add 5 to both sides

2) 5x= -40 : Simplify

3) 5x/5 = -40/5 : Divide both sides

Hope that helps

Solve the system of equations -5x – 2y = 13 and 3x-y = 12 by combining the equations

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

x=1 y =15

Step-by-step explanation:

hopefully correct

-5x-2y=13 (i)

3x-y=12

-y=12-3x

y=-12+3x (ii)

substitute ii into i

-5x-2(-12+3x)=13

-5x +24-6x=13

-11x=-11

x=1

substitute x into ii

y=-12+3(1)

y=15

.

. . x=1 and y =15

A car of 1000 kg starts to move from rest and travels a distance of 150 m in 10 second. How much force is needed?

allsm [11]

Initial velocity=u=0m/s
Distance=s=150m
Time=t=10s
Acceleration=a

Using second equation of kinematics

$\\ \sf\longmapsto s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 150=0(10)+\dfrac{1}{2}a(10)^2$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 150=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 100a$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 50a=150$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto a=\dfrac{150}{50}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto a=3m/s^2$

Mass=m=1000kg
Force=F

Using newtons second law

$\\ \sf\longmapsto F=ma$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto F=1000(3)$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto F=3000N$
