If the equation of a function is y = x2 – 5, what is the output when the input is -1?

1 answer:

4 0

The input is the y
y = x^2 - 5
plug in what we're given
-1 = x^2 -5
add 5 to both sides
4 = x^2
take the square root of both sides
2 = x

Hope this helps :)

A pole-vaulter uses a 15-foot-long pile. She grips the pole so that the segment below her left hand is twice the length of the s

Shalnov [3]

Let x + 1.5 be length of segment above left hand
Let 2x be length of segment below left hand

15 = x + 1.5 + 2x
15 = 3x + 1.5
15 - 1.5 = 3x
13.5 = 3x
13.5/3= 3x/3
4.5 = x
x = 4.5
This is the length above the left hand.

2x must be then 4.5*2 = 9 foot
This is the length below the left hand.

Checking
4.5 + 9 + 1.5 = 15 foot

Adding length below left hand & length of left hand to right hand:
9 + 1.5 = 10.5
The right hand is hence 10.5 foot far up the pole.
