If f(3)=2x^3 -2 , what is the value of f(2)

I'm not sure about this but will give it a try:

Let f(n) = 2xⁿ - 2

Then f(3) = 2x³ - 2

So, f(2) = 2x² - 2

<h2>Steps:</h2>

So firstly, this function is asking us to divide f(x) by g(x) so let's set that up as such:

$(\frac{f}{g})(x)=\frac{x^2-x-6}{1}\div \frac{x-3}{x+2}$

Next, remember that <u>dividing by a number is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal.</u> To find the reciprocal of a number, flip the numerator and denominator around. With this info, flip the second fraction to it's reciprocal and change the sign to multiplication:

$(\frac{f}{g})(x)=\frac{x^2-x-6}{1}\times \frac{x+2}{x-3}$

Next, we are going to factor x² - x - 6. Firstly, what two terms have a product of -6x² and a sum of -x? That would be -3x and 2x. Replace -x with 2x - 3x:

$(\frac{f}{g})(x)=\frac{x^2+2x-3x-6}{1}\times \frac{x+2}{x-3}$

Next, factor x² + 2x and -3x - 6 separately. Make sure that they have the same quantity on the inside of the parentheses:

$(\frac{f}{g})(x)=\frac{x(x+2)-3(x+2)}{1}\times \frac{x+2}{x-3}$

Now you can rewrite it as:

$(\frac{f}{g})(x)=\frac{(x-3)(x+2)}{1}\times \frac{x+2}{x-3}$

Next, multiply:

$(\frac{f}{g})(x)=\frac{(x-3)(x+2)^2}{x-3}$

Next, divide:

$(\frac{f}{g})(x)=(x+2)^2$

And lastly, simplify:

A good tip: $(x+y)^2=x^2+2xy+y^2$

$(\frac{f}{g})(x)=x^2+4x+4$

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>The correct option is C. x² + 4x + 4.</u>

The accompanying data resulted from an experiment in which weld diameter x and shear strength y (in pounds) were determined for

saul85 [17]

Answer:

y hat = 2114.20 + 18.96x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the least square regression model equation:

y hat = -959.00 + 8.60x

weld diameter x ; shear strength y (in pounds)

1 lb = 0.4536 kg

To express shear strength y in kilogram:

y is multiplied by 0.4536

(y hat × 0.4536) = -959.00 + 8.60x

Divide both sides by 0.4536

(y hat × 0.4536) / 0.4536= (-959.00 + 8.60x) / 0.4536

y hat = 2114.1975 + 18.959435x

y hat = 2114.20 + 18.96x
