3.5 is the answer
I did the math and that is what i got.
I'm assuming the given function is f(x) = 15x^2 + 10x.
If so, then,
f(x) = 15x^2 + 10x
f(x) = 15*(x)^2 + 10*(x)
f(-1) = 15*(-1)^2 + 10*(-1) ... note how x is replaced with -1
f(-1) = 15*(1) + 10*(-1)
f(-1) = 15 - 10
f(-1) = 5
Therefore the answer is 5

Value of "x" depends on the equation given. The value of x changes
Answer:
Q1:14 Q2:8903.5
Step-by-step explanation:
I find that using equations to solve problems makes it a lot easier.
The first company's equation would be y=5743+225.75x because 5743 is the set fee and 225.75 is for each ton of sugar. The second company would be y=7500+100.25x for the same reasons.
So we need to find a value of x that works for each company and a value of y that is the same for the cost.
Now we combine them.
Solve for x:
5743+225.75x=7500+100.25x
-5743 -5743
225.75x= 1757+100.25x
-100.25x -100.25x
125.50x=1757
/125.5 /125.5
x=14
Therefore, for Q1, the answer is 14.
Now we solve for y by substituting x for 14.
5743+225.75(14)
5743+3160.5
8903.5
We can also check this with the other equation
7500+100.25(14)
7500+1403.5
8903.5
So therefore, the answer to Q2 would be 8903.5.
