<h3>Given</h3>
... f(x) = x² -4x +1
<h3>Find</h3>
... a) f(-8)
... b) f(x+9)
... c) f(-x)
<h3>Solution</h3>
In each case, put the function argument where x is, then simplify.
a) f(-8) = (-8)² -4(-8) +1 = 64 +32 + 1 = 97
b) f(x+9) = (x+9)² -4(x+9) +1
... = x² +18x +81 -4x -36 +1
... f(x+9) = x² +14x +46
c) f(-x) = (-x)² -4(-x) +1
... f(-x) = x² +4x +1
9% decrease because 145-132=13
13=9% of 145
Distribute -3 to the rest of the numbers by multiplying them together. That’s all you need to do you don’t have to solve
Answer:
x = 7 and 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide both sides by -4...
| x - 11 | = 4
because
| -4 | = 4 and
| 4 | = 4
x - 11 = -4 and x - 11 = 4
solve for x in both equations.
x = 7 and x = 15
