Replace each "x" in the original equation with (4):
3(4)^2 + 2(4) - 5
= 3(16) + 8 - 5 = 48 + 8 - 5. Can you finish this?
Answer:
10.4
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be x
Sum of x and -3.2 : x + (-3.2) = x - 3.2
1/4 times the sum of a number and −3.2 = (1/4) * (x - 3.2)

x = 10.4
Answer:
- time = 1second
- maximum height = 16m
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the height of a pumpkin t seconds after it is launched from a catapult modelled by the equation
f(t)=-16t²+32t... (1)
The pumpkin reaches its maximum height when the velocity is zero.
Velocity = {d(f(x)}/dt = -32t+32
Since v = 0m/s (at maximum height)
-32t+32 = 0
-32t = -32
t = -32/-32
t = 1sec
The pumpkin reaches its maximum height after 1second.
Maximum height of the pumpkin is gotten by substituting t = 1sec into equation (1)
f(1) = -16(1)²+32(1)
f(1) = -16+32
f(1) = 16m
The maximum height of the pumpkin is 16m
The answer is -6 degrees Celsius
