Answer:

f(2) = - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate f(2) substitute x = 2 into f(x), that is

f(2) = 5(2) - 12 = 10 - 12 = - 2

The measure of an angle is two times the measure of a supplementary angle. what is the measure of each angle

lara31 [8.8K]

Let the angles be x and (180-x).

Let 2x = 180-x.

Then 3x = 180, and x = 60. One angle is 60 degrees and the other is 180-60, or 120, degrees.

choose two numbers from the list 3,4,6,12. Explain the difference between finding the greatest common factor and the least commo

zepelin [54]

3 & 6 - LCM = 3. 3's multiples are 3, 6, 9,12, 16, etc. 6's multiples are 6, 12, 18, etc. therefore, the least common multiple is 6.
GCF - 3's factors are 1, 3, and 6's factors 1, 2, 3. so the greatest common factor is 3.

Which represents a quadratic function ?

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

$\boxed{\boxed{B.\ f(x)=\dfrac{3}{4}x^2+2x-5}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadratic function-

It is a function that can be represented by an equation of the form $f = ax^2 + bx + c$ , where $a\neq 0$

In a quadratic function, the greatest power of the variable is 2.

As in the first option the highest power is 3, so it is not a quadratic function.

Even though the power of x is 2 in the third option, but as it is in the denominator, so the overall power of x becomes -2. Hence it is not a quadratic function.

As the coefficient of $x^2$ is 0 in case of fourth option, so it is not a quadratic function.
