Answer:
f(3) = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 2x^2 – 5x
Let x = 3
f(3) = 2(3)^2 - 5(3)
= 2*9 -15
= 18-15
=3
Segment A is a linear constant. In general a linear constant will be y=k for a horizontal line or x=k for a vertical line.
A proportional relationship is described by the equation
... y = k·x
The point (x, y) = (0, 0) is <em>always</em> a solution to this equation.
_____
In short, if the relationship is proportional, its graph will go through the origin. If the graph does not go through the origin, the relationship is not proportional.
___
Note that this is true if the domain includes the origin. You can have y = kx <em>for x > 10 </em>and the graph will <em>not</em> go through the origin because the function is <em>not defined</em> there.
