Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the function:

$f(x)=2x^2-3x+7$

And we want to find f(-2).

To do so, substitute -2 for x. Thus:

$f(-2)=2(-2)^2-3(-2)+7$

Square:

$f(-2)=2(4)-3(-2)+7$

Multiply:

$f(-2)=8+6+7$

Add:

$f(-2)=21$

And we're done!

Answer:

21.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2x^2 - 3x + 7.

When x = -2,

f(-2) = 2(-2)^2 - 3(-2) + 7

= 2(4) - (-6) + 7

= 8 + 6 + 7

= 21.

Answer:

520 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way to visualize this problem is to sketch a quick diagram.

For this problem, you are given an angle and the length of the side of a triangle. If you look at the diagram, you'll see that the length given is the opposite side of the angle given. For this situation, that means you will use the sine function (refer to SOH-CAH-TOA acronym). Then you plug in the given values and solve for x.

Hope this helps!

Hakim deposited $50 in a saving account earning 10% interest, compounded annually . To the nearest cent , how much interest will

Paraphin [41]

$\bf ~~~~~~ \textit{Compound Interest Earned Amount} \\\\ A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt} \quad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill &\$50\\ r=rate\to 10\%\to \frac{10}{100}\dotfill &0.10\\ n= \begin{array}{llll} \textit{times it compounds per year}\\ \textit{annually, thus once} \end{array}\dotfill &1\\ t=years\dotfill &2 \end{cases}$

$\bf A=50\left(1+\frac{0.10}{1}\right)^{1\cdot 2}\implies A=50(1.1)^2\implies A=60.5 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ ~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{earned interest}}{60.5 - 50\implies 10.5}~\hfill$

The Roosevelt Branch Library is open daily from 9:00 A.M. until 4:30 P.M., 255 days a year. How many hours in all is the library

kramer

Lets look at the hours they are open from. 9 am - 4:30 pm which is 7 and a half hours a day. Now we multiply 7 1/2 by the number of days they are open, which will be 7 1/2 * 255 = 1,912.5. This means that the library is open 1,912 1/2 hours a year.

I hope I've helped! :)
