Answer:

a) 7 equal sized pieces of 3/8 pounds

7* 3/8 = 21/8

b) 3 equal sized pieces of 7/8 pounds

3* 7/8 = 21/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Martin has 2 5/8 pounds of ground beef.

2 5/8 = 21/8 pounds = 2.625 pounds

Because 21 is divisible by 3 and 7, we can arrange the ground beef in two configurations

a) 7 equal sized pieces of 3/8 pounds

7* 3/8 = 21/8

b) 3 equal sized pieces of 7/8 pounds

3* 7/8 = 21/8

For the function f(x)=3xsquared- 2x+5 find f(1) f(-2) and f(a)

Oksanka [162]

$f(x)=3x^2-2x+5\\\\
f(1):\ \ Substitude\ 1 \ as\ x\ into\ function:\\
f(1)=3*1^2-2*1+5=3-2+5=\textbf{6}\\\\
f(-2)\ \ Substitude\ x=-2\\
f(-2)=3*(-2)^2-2*(-2)+5=3*4+4+5=12+4+5=\textbf{21}\\\\
f(a)\ \ substitude\ x=a\\
f(a)=\underline{3a^2-2a+5}$
