In the equation you have to replace all x's with -1

f (-1) = (-1)^2 - 8(-1) +5
f (-1) =  1 + 8 + 5
f (-1) = 14

the f(-1) stand for the function of -1. it is also equivalent to y

Answer:

f(-1)=14

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Function - f(x)=x^2-8x+5

To find : The value of f(-1)

Solution : Follow the steps :

Step 1- Write the function

f(x)=x^2-8x+5

Step 2- Put x=-1 to find the value of f(-1)

f(-1)=(-1)^2-8(-1)+5

Step 3- Solve the above equation

f(-1)=1+8+5

f(-1)=14

Therefore, f(-1)=14

A car, initially at rest, accelerates at 2 meters/s/s. assuming the car starts from rest, how far will it travel in 10 s?
MrRa [10]
We shall use the formula for distance traveled:
s = ut + (1/2)at^2
where
u = initial velocity
t = time
a =  acceleration.

Because
u = 0 (car starts from rest),
t = 10 s (travel tme),
a = 2 m/s^2 (acceleration), m
the di mstance traveled is
s = (1/2)*(2 m/s^2)*(10 s)^2 = (1/2)*2*100 = 100

Answer: 100 m

Factorize: x² + 3x + 2​
zvonat [6]

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 3x + 2

x² + x + 2x + 2 because 1+2=3 and 2×1=2

By taking out common terms, we get

x(x+1)+2(x+1)

(x+1)(x+2)
