Answer:

-x^3+5x^2-8x+1, which is choice A

======================================

Work Shown:

f(x) = x^3 - x^2 - 3

f(x) = (x)^3 - (x)^2 - 3

f(2-x) = (2-x)^3 - (2-x)^2 - 3 ................ see note 1 (below)

f(2-x) = (2-x)(2-x)^2 - (2-x)^2 - 3 ........... see note 2

f(2-x) = (2-x)(4-4x+x^2) - (4-4x+x^2) - 3 ..... see note 3

f(2-x) = -x^3+6x^2-12x+8 - (4-4x+x^2) - 3 ..... see note 4

f(2-x) = -x^3+6x^2-12x+8 - 4+4x-x^2 - 3 ....... see note 5

f(2-x) = -x^3+5x^2-8x+1

----------

note1: I replaced every copy of x with 2-x. Be careful to use parenthesis so that you go from x^3 to (2-x)^3, same for the x^2 term as well.

note2: The (2-x)^3 is like y^3 with y = 2-x. We can break up y^3 into y*y^2, so that means (2-x)^3 = (2-x)(2-x)^2

note3: (2-x)^2 expands out into 4-4x+x^2 as shown in figure 1 (attached image below). I used the box method for this and for note 4 as well. Each inner box or cell is the result of multiplying the outside terms. Example: in row1, column1 we have 2 times 2 = 4. You could use the FOIL rule or distribution property, but the box method is ideal so you don't lose track of terms.

note4: (2-x)(4-4x+x^2) turns into -x^3+6x^2-12x+8 when expanding everything out. See figure 2 (attached image below). Same story as note 3, but it's a bit more complicated.

note5: distribute the negative through to ALL the terms inside the parenthesis of (4-4x+x^2) to end up with -4+4x-x^2

Please help! <br><br> 6.2 divided by (2x + 1)= 2 1/3 divided by 4
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

x=2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x+1)/2 = 2 1/3/4

Multiply 4 on both sides:

2x+1=2 1/3

Rewrite:

2x+1=7/3

Subtract 1 on both sides:

2x=4/3

Divide 2 on both sides:

x=2/3

Thus x=2/3

Hope this helps!

What is the value of n in the equation 0.2(n - 6) = 2.8?<br> (1) 8 (3) 20<br> (2) 2 (4) 44
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
So,

0.2(n - 6) = 2.8

Distribute.
0.2n - 1.2 = 2.8

Add 1.2 to both sides.
0.2n = 4

Divide both sides by .2.
n = 20

Check.
0.2(20 - 6) = 2.8

Simplify inside parentheses.
0.2(14) = 2.8

Multiply.
2.8 = 2.8 This checks.

the perimeter of a semicircle is 108 cm what is the perimeter of the square drawn on the diameter of the semicircle ​
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the perimeter of the semi-circle would be the diameter plus the circumference of half of the circle.  

They want to know the perimeter of a square using the diameter of the sem-circle as ONE side, so the perimeter of the square would be 4 times the ONE side.

We should recall:

diameter = 2 times the radius     circumference of a cirlce = 2π r

How do we find the diameter of the of the semi circle?

The perimeter of the semi circle is given as 108 cm

Perimeter of the semicirle =    2r + π r         diameter plus semi circumference

                                  108   =   r ( 2 + π)           factor out the r and solve for r

                     108 / (2 + π)   =   r                       divide both sides by ( 2 + r)

Now we know r, the perimeter of the squqre is 4 times 2r  or  8r

           perimeter of square = 8  [ 108 / (2 + π) ]               π  I used 3.14

                                             =  864 / 5.14

                                             =   168.1 cm       I got rounded to nearest tenth    

<em>When I re-checked by work I found a few math,  logic and calculation errors.  Please re-check my answer for any more mistakes.</em>
