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

1 answer:

8 0

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

The human body has a normal temperature of 98.6°F. Doctors will get worried if a sick patient has a temperature that varies from

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

$|T- 98.6| \geq 3$

And in order to solve this we have two possibilities:

Solution 1

$T -98.6 \leq -3$

And solving for T we got:

$T \leq 98.6- 3$

$T\leq 95.6$

Solution 2

And the other options would be:

$T -98.6 \geq 3$

$T \geq 101.6$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can define the variable os interest T as the real temperature and we know that if we are 3 F more than the value of 98.6 we will be unhealthy so we can set up the following equation:

$|T- 98.6| \geq 3$

And in order to solve this we have two possibilities:

Solution 1

$T -98.6 \leq -3$

And solving for T we got:

$T \leq 98.6- 3$

$T\leq 95.6$

Solution 2

And the other options would be:

$T -98.6 \geq 3$

$T \geq 101.6$

How to construct a triangle with side lengths 10 cm and 14 cm and an angle between them of 60 degrees.

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

We draw line AB which is perpendicular to the 14 cm side

Since Angle C is 60 degrees that makes angle CAB = 30 degrees

Triangle CAB is a 30 60 90 triangle so line CB is half the hypotenuse or 5 cm

Line BD equals 9 cm

Line AB^2 = 10^2 - 5^2 = 75

Line AD^2 = AB^2 + BD^2

Line AD^2 = 75 + 81

Line AD^2 = 156

Line AD = 12.4899959968

Line AB = Sqr root (75) = 8.6602540378

Angle D = arc sine (8.6602540378 / 12.4899959968)

Angle D = 43.898 degrees

Angle A = 180 - 60 - 43.898 = 76.102 degrees

Actually this could have been done a little easier by using the Law of Cosines and then the Law of Sines, but I just thought I'd show another way to solve this.
