If f(3) = 3(x+5+2, what is f(a+ 2)?

Mamont248 [21]

Solution:

f(3) = 3(x + 5 + 2)

f(3) = 3(3 + 5 + 2)

f(3) = 3(10)

f(3) = 30

Substitute 30 for a:

f(30 + 2)

f(32)

Best of Luck!

Write a vector equation of the line that passes through P(4, 7) and is parallel to a = (3, 8).

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(x,y) = P + (a)t

(x,y) = (4,7) + t(3,8)

(x,y) - (4,7) = t(3,8)

(x-4, y-7) = t(3,8)
