Answer:
f(- 3) = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
To evaluate f(- 3) substitute x = - 3 into f(x)
f(- 3) = (- 3)² - 2(- 3) + 3 = 9 + 6 + 3 = 18
Answer:
y = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Expand the logarithm:

_____
You can also take the antilog first:
5y = y²
y(y -5) = 0 . . . . . subtract 5y, factor
y = 0 or 5 . . . . . y=0 is not a viable solution, so y=5.
Speed = Distance / Time
Distance = Speed*Time
For this problem, we should bear in mind that current speed has an impact on the boat speed...
for upstream, the boat goes against the current, and so its speed is
U = V - C
where V is the speed of the boat
C is the current speed
for downstream, it will be:
D = V + C
Convert the problem into mathematical equations:
4D + 3U = 116
3D + 4U = 108
4(V+C) + 3(V-C) = 116
4V + 4C + 3V -3C =116
7V + C = 116
3(V+C) + 4(V-C) = 108
3V + 3C + 4V - 4C = 108
7V - C = 108
Solving the equations:
7V + C = 116
7V - C = 108
14V = 224
V = 16km/hr —-> speed of boat
to get C:
7(16) + C = 116
C = 4km/hr
the answer of this equation is -5
She’ll need 18 eggs.
2 eggs = 12 (dozen) muffins
108 muffins (needed) / 12 muffins
= 9 groups of 12 muffins
so therefore 2eggs x 9 groups of muffins = 18 eggs
