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

For 0 ≤ θ < 2 π what are the solutions to sin^2(θ) =2sin^2(θ/2)
gregori [183]

Recall the half-angle identity for sine,

sin²(x/2) = (1 - cos(x))/2

Then the given equation is identical to

sin²(θ) = 1 - cos(θ)

Also recall the Pythagorean identity,

sin²(θ) + cos²(θ) = 1

Then we rewrite the equation as

1 - cos²(θ) = 1 - cos(θ)

Factoring the left side, we have

(1 - cos(θ)) (1 + cos(θ)) = 1 - cos(θ)

and so

(1 - cos(θ)) (1 + cos(θ)) - (1 - cos(θ)) = 0

and we factor this further as

(1 - cos(θ)) (1 + cos(θ) - 1) = 0

which gives

cos(θ) (1 - cos(θ)) = 0

Then either

cos(θ) = 0   or   1 - cos(θ) = 0

cos(θ) = 0   or   cos(θ) = 1

[θ = arccos(0) + 2nπ   or   θ = -arccos(0) + 2nπ]

…   or   [θ = arccos(1) + 2nπ   or   θ = -arccos(1) + 2nπ]

(where n is any integer)

[θ = π/2 + 2nπ   or   θ = -π/2 + 2nπ]   or   [θ = 0 + 2nπ]

In the interval 0 ≤ θ < 2π, we get three solutions:

• first solution set with n = 0   ⇒   θ = π/2

• second solution set with n = 1   ⇒   θ = 3π/2

• third solution set with n = 0   ⇒   θ = 0

So, the first choice is correct.

A hair salon charges a fixed rate of $25.00 for a haircut and then an additional $15.00 for any other services. Write a function
wolverine [178]
You have a fixed rate of $25, meaning you get a haircut, it's $25

ANY other service is an extra $15

So, let's make the equation...

y=15x+25

Now, to just get a haircut it's $25.

But, let's say you get a haircut+shampoo

It'd be..

y=15(1)+25

y=$40

Another one..

You get a haircut+shampoo+highlight

y=15(3)+25

y=$70
