Answer:

-20

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)= 2x^2 + 5x - 17,

f(-1)

Let x = -1

f(-1)= 2 *(-1)^2 + 5(-1) - 17

= 2 *1 -5 -17

= 2 -22

= -20

Answer:

-20

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)= 2x² + 5x - 17

Put x as -1.

f(-1)= 2(-1)² + 5(-1) - 17

Solve for the powers.

f(-1)= 2(1) + 5(-1) - 17

Multiply the terms.

f(-1)= 2 + -5 - 17

Add or subtract the terms.

f(-1)= -20

Subsubstitution solving for x

yuradex [85]

y = 8x - 18

2x - 8(8x - 18) = 20

2x + -64x + 144 = 20

-62x + 144 = 20

-62x = -124

A car dealership pays you 4% commission on your first $8,000 in car sales and 8% commission on additional sales over the $8,000.

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Total Commission = $400

Step-by-step explanation:

Since total is $9000 (in sales) -- commision is 4% on the first $8000 and 8% in the additional part over $8000 (9000-8000=1000). So 8% on $1000.

Total commission = 4% of 8000 + 8% of 1000

= (0.04)(8000) + (0.08)(1000)

= 400

Total Commission is $400

What is the equation of the axis of symmetry do the quadratic function f(x) = -(x+4) (x-1)

miv72 [106K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

x = -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The zeros of the function are the values of x that make the factors zero:

x = -4, x = 1

The axis of symmetry is the vertical line halfway between these zeros.

x = (-4 +1)/2 = -3/2

The equation of the axis of symmetry is x = -3/2.
