Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to be careful that you treat 21 as special. It is the only positive number. As you do the problem, keep an eye on 21.

f(-2) = 3x^2 - 2x + 5 Put -2 wherever you see an x

f(-2) = 3(-2)^2 - 2(-2) + 5 Calculate the first term.

f(-2) = 3(4) - 2(-2) + 5 Remove the brackets of the second term

f(-2) = 12 + 4 + 5 Combine

f(-2) = 21

Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 3x2 - 2x + 5

f(-2) = 3*(-2)^2 - 2*(-2) + 5

f(-2) = 3*4 + 4 + 5

f(-2) = 12 + 4 + 5

f(-2) = 21

Given the following points, write the equation of the line that goes through them. ( -12,56), (0,8), and (8,-24).

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

$y=-4x+8$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the slope

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

take two points from the data

(0,8), and (8,-24).

substitute

$m=\frac{-24-8}{8-0}$

$m=\frac{-32}{8}$

$m=-4$

step 2

Find the equation of he line in slope intercept form

$y=mx+b$

we have

$m=-4$

$b=8$ ----> the y-intercept is given

substitute

$y=-4x+8$

<h3>What is a triangle?</h3>

A triangle is a three-edged polygon with three vertices. It is a fundamental form in geometry. Triangle ABC denotes a triangle with vertices A, B, and C.

The two triangles can be made as shown below, the bigger triangle will be an equilateral triangle with each side measuring 10 units, while the smaller triangle will be an isosceles triangle and the measure of the same length side will be equal to the radius of the circle.

adoni [48]

Answer:

The answer is √58 = 7.62

Step-by-step explanation:

So, if you draw this down, you will see that the direct distance is hypotenuse c of a right triangle which sides are 3 blocks (1 south and 2 north) and 7 blocks (4 west and 3 east).

Use the Pythagorean theorem:

c² = a² + b²

a = 3

b = 7

c² = 3² + 7²

c² = 9 + 49

c² = 58

c = √58

c = 7.62
