hi,
you must replace x by the number between parenthese.
I show you with the first one and let you do the second one
p(x) = 11x^5 -11x^4 - 5x^2 +15x-8
p(-4) = 11 (-4)^5 - 11 (-4)^4 -5(-4)² +15(-4) -8
p(-4) = 11 ( -1024- 256) - 5*16 -60-8
p(-4) = 11 ( -1280) -80-60-8
p(-4) = - 14080 - 148
p(-4) = - 14 228
The formula for slope is
m= (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)
you can plug in the points that you are given to find the slope
m= (-1-2)/(2-(-4)
m= -3/6
the slope is -3/6 which reduced to -1/2
so the answer would be
c) -1/2
hope this helped!
I got 784 inches cubed, I cut the figure into two, the first one was 8×4×14=448, the second was 8×3×14=336,
therefore 448+336=784
