If g(x) = -5x + 13, find g(-1)

1 answer:

5 0

To solve this problem, we must substitute the value of -1 in for x in the function. This means that for every x there is in the equation, we must substitute the value -1 in for it in order to find the value of g(-1). This is modeled below:

g(x) = -5x + 13

g(-1) = -5(-1) + 13

Next, we must simplify using the order of operations. PEMDAS outlines this concept, telling us to simplify parentheses first, exponents next, then multiplication and division, and finally addition and subtraction. In this case, we will solve the multiplication and then the addition, as modeled below:

g(-1) = -5(-1) + 13

g(-1) = 5 + 13

g(-1) = 18

Therefore, your answer is 18.

Hope this helps!

bagirrra123 [75]

Hi!

We can set up a proportion then cross multiply to solve this.

$\frac{45}{x} \frac{18}{100}$

45 x 100 = 4500
4500/18 = 250

The answer is 250

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

<em>The value of y when x has a value of 9 is 18</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Functions</u>

The variables x and y are said to have a quadratic relationship. That information is not enough to set up a general equation for both variables.

Furthermore, we know that tripling the value of x causes the value of y to be multiplied by 9. That leads us to establish a proportional equation between them, as follows:

$y=kx^2$
