Answer:

- 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaluate f(1) and f(- 1) by substituting x = 1 and x = - 1 into f(x)

Given

f(x) = x² - 4x + 6, then

f(1) = 1² - 4(1) + 6 = 1 - 4 + 6 = 3

f(- 1) = (- 1)² - 4(- 1) + 6 = 1 + 4 + 6 = 11

Thus

f(1) - f(- 1) = 3 - 11 = - 8

Answer:

$The~ value ~of~ f(1) - f(-1)~ is~ -8.$

Step-by-step explanation:

$The~given~function:$

$f(x)=x^2-4x+6$

$We~ need~ to~ find~ the~ value ~of ~f(1) - f(-1).$

$Substitute~ x=1~ in~ the~ given~ function.$

$f(1)=(1)^2-4(1)+6=3$

$Substitute~ x=-1~ in~ the~ given ~function .$

$f(-1)=(-1)^2-4(-1)+6=11$

$The~ of ~f(1) - f(-1)~ is$

$f(1)-f(-1)=3-11=-8$

Therefore, the value of f(1) - f(-1) is -8.

10. Which statement about the data is true? 114, 216, 246, 220, 111, 234, 121, 179

Svetlanka [38]

Right away, mode is not applicable because mode entails the repetition of the same number. No numbers are repeated here.

To find median, you must put the numbers in numerical order. You should get
111, 114, 121, 179, 216, 220, 234, 246

Next, find the middle. In this case, the middle is split between 179 and 216. To find the median, add 179 and 216 then divide by two. You should get 197.5.

To find the mean, add all the numbers then divide by the number of numbers present (in this case there are 8 numbers). You should get 180.125.

Because the median and mean are off, it is safe to say A is the correct choice.

Why is (3,-5) not a solution to -x+4y=-15

Olegator [25]

C) It doesn’t satisfy either the top or bottom equations.

When we plug them into the top equation:
$- 3 + 4( - 5) = - 15$
Simplify:
$- 3 + ( - 20) = - 15 \\ \\ - 23= - 15$
Because the statement of -23 = -15 is wrong, the solution pair is wrong for the top equation.

When we plug them into the bottom equation:
$- 2(3) - 3( - 5) = - 8$
Simplify:
$- 6 - ( - 15) = - 8 \\ \\ 9 = - 8$
9 = -8 is not a valid statement, so the pair doesn't satisfy both of the equations.
