Answer:

f(-1) =0

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=3x^5-2x^3+1

Let x = -1

f(-1) = 3(-1)^5 -2(-1)^3 +1

= 3(-1) -2(-1)+1

=-3 +2+1

Answer:

f(-1)=0

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=3x^5-2x^3+1

well, all you have to do is to replace x with -1.

f(-1)=3·(-1)^5-2·(-1)^3+1

f(-1)=3·(-1)-2·(-1)+1

f(-1)=-3+2+1

f(-1)=-3+3=0

Find the point on the x-axis that is equidistant from the points (−3,−1) and (1,6)

Klio2033 [76]

well, we'll be using the distance formula twice here.

that point, is on the x-axis, what's the value of "y" at the x-axis? well y = 0, since it's way down at the 0 level, so the point must be (x , 0).

the distance then from (x,0) to (-3,-1) is the same distance as from (x,0) to 1,6).

$\bf \begin{array}{rcllll} \stackrel{\textit{distance from (x,0) to (-3,-1)}}{\sqrt{(-3-x)^2+(-1-0)^2}}&=&\stackrel{\textit{distance from (x,0) to (1,6)}}{\sqrt{(1-x)^2+(6-0)^2}} \\\\\\ (-3-x)^2+(-1-0)^2&=&(1-x)^2+(6-0)^2 \\\\\\ 9+6x+x^2+1&=&1-2x+x^2+36 \\\\\\ x^2+6x+10&=&x^2-2x+37 \end{array} \\\\\\ 6x+10=-2x+37\implies 8x+10=37\implies 8x=27 \\\\\\ x = \cfrac{27}{8}\implies x = 3\frac{3}{8}~\hfill \blacktriangleright \left( 3\frac{3}{8}~,~0 \right) \blacktriangleleft$

A local salesman receives a base salary of $975 monthly. He also receives a commission of 7% on all sales over $1250. How much w

slava [35]

Answer:

$17,321.43

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of monthly income from commissions would have to be ...

$2100 -975 = $1125

This is 7% of sales over $1250, so the sales (s) would need to be ...

1125 = 0.07(s -1250)

1125 = .07s -87.50 . . eliminate parentheses

1212.50 = 0.07s . . . . add 87.50

17,321.43 = s . . . . . . . divide by 0.07

He would have to sell $17,321.43 in a month if he needed an income of $2100.

Find the value of x and y

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

It's hard to make out which is x and y, if x is lower right and y is at the top, then:

x = 55°

y = 70°

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 55° because it is an isosceles triangle

y = 180° - 55° - 55° = 70°
