Evaluate the function f(x)=2x-2 when x equals negative 1 A. -4 B. -3 C. 0 D. 4

1 answer:

8 0

F(x)= -4.
Just plug in -1 for your x in 2x-2 and solve like a normal equation. Think of f(x) a your y because that's basically what it is. If it helps, the equation is basically:
y=2x-2 so you would just solve for y by plugging in -1 into x.

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

3.24 years

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that for the truck to become half of the value it has to decrease by %50 if it decreases by %15.4 the real question is 50/15.4=3.24 years because how many years will it take for %15.4 to pile up and eventually become %50

Need help with math homework

Hello!

The answer for A is:

$X1=-1\\X2=5$

The answer for B is: The rocket will hit the lake surface in 5 seconds.

Defining the terms:

$a=-16\\b=64\\c=80\\$

So, replacing it in the quadratic equation (it's given to you in the exercise)\\

$x=\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^{2}-4*a*c } }{2*a}$

$x=\frac{-64+-\sqrt{64^{2}-4*-16*80 } }{2*-16}$

$x=\frac{-64+-\sqrt{64^{2}+5120} }{-32}=\frac{-64+-\sqrt{4096+5120} }{-32}\\x=\frac{-64+-\sqrt{9216} }{-32}=\frac{-64+-\ 96 }{-32}\\x=\frac{-64+-\ 96 }{-32}\\x1=\frac{-64+\ 96 }{-32}=\frac{32}{-32} =-1\\\\x1=\frac{-64-\ 96 }{-32}=\frac{-160}{-32} =5\\$

We are working with a quadratic equation, so we will have two possible results,

$X1=-1\\X2=5\\$

Now, we are asked to find the time, time can not be a negative value, we have to discard X1 (-1) since it's a negative value, knowing that, the rocket will hit the lake after 5 seconds.

Have a nice day!
