<h3>Answer:  5</h3>

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

Explanation:

Everywhere you see an x, replace it with -5. Then use the order of operations PEMDAS to simplify

f(x) = -x^2 - 7x - 5\\\\f(-5) = -(-5)^2 - 7(-5) - 5\\\\f(-5) = -(25) - 7(-5) - 5\\\\f(-5) = -25 + 35 - 5\\\\f(-5) = 10 - 5\\\\f(-5) = 5\\\\

Keep in mind that for the x^2 term, you are squaring all of x = -5, which includes the negative as well. So that means

x^2 = (-5)^2 = (-5)*(-5) = 25

but sticking a negative out front makes

-x^2 = -(-5)^2 = -25

(3x+4)^2=14 what are the solutions?
kherson [118]
\bf (3x+4)^2=14\implies \sqrt{(3x+4)^2}=\pm\sqrt{14}\implies 3x+4=\pm\sqrt{14}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;3x=\pm \sqrt{14}-4\implies x=\cfrac{\pm \sqrt{14}-4}{3}\implies x=&#10;\begin{cases}&#10;\cfrac{\sqrt{14}-4}{3}\\\\&#10;\cfrac{- \sqrt{14}-4}{3}&#10;\end{cases}
