Answer:
f(2)= 11
Step-by-step explanation:
you have to substitute 2 for every x you see:
f(x) = 3x² + 2x - 5
f(2)= 3(2)^2+2(2)-5
f(2)= 11
C. 6
Exploration: i got it right.
Before you start working on this problem, make sure you know
how to use a couple of the tools in your toolbox:
Tool #1: 37-1/2 percent means 0.375
Tool #2: In math problems, "of" almost always means "times".
====================================
Your question says
"37-1/2 percent of blank is 36".
Translate it with your tools:
0.375 times blank = 36 .
Divide each side by 0.375: Blank = 36 / 0.375 .
Now grab your pencil or your calculator, and find the value of that
fraction (do the division). Blank is equal to the value of the fraction.
To check your answer (find out whether it's correct):
Do exactly what the question says.
Multiply (0.375) times (your answer). If you get 36,
then your answer is correct. If not, it's not.
<span>We are not told how often the interest is compounded, so assuming it is <em /><u><em>compounded yearly</em></u>, you need to keep $9.99 in the account to pay the fee.
<u><em>Explanation: </em></u>
Compound interest follows the formula A=p(1+r)^t,
where:
A is the total amount in the account,
p is the amount of principal,
r is the interest rate as a decimal number,
and t is the number of years.
<u>For our problem: </u>
A = 9.99,
p is unknown,
r = 0.018% = 0.00018,
and t=1.
<u>This gives us: </u>
9.99=p(1+0.00018)^1;
9.99=p(1.00018).
<u>Divide both sides by 1.00018: </u>
9.99=p.</span>
