Hello!

To find the value of f(-1), you need to substitute -1 into each x variable and solve. Remember to use PEMDAS when simplifying.

f(x) = x² - 8x + 5 (substitute -1 for x)

f(-1) = (-1)² - 8(-1) + 5 (simplify the exponent)

f(-1) = 1 - 8(-1) + 5 (multiply)

f(-1) = 1 + 8 + 5 (add alike terms)

f(-1) = 14

Therefore, the value of f(-1) is 14.

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

I just learned this about a few weeks ago I hope this helps.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it's cosine you're only looking at Adjacent and the hypotenuse which the adj is 20 and the hyp is 25 so since cosine is adj/hyp you do 20/25 then simplify it to 20/25 divide both by 5 so it's simplified to 4/5.

Then you do Cos-1(4/5)=36.869 which is rounded to the tenth 36.9 but rounded to the hundredth 36.87.

Hope this helps

The cost c, for manufacturing x flags is given by c=x? -24x +39. Find the number of flags manufactured if the cost is $120.
IRINA_888 [86]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  27

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to find x when c = 120.

  120 = x^2 -24x +39

  x^2 -24x -81 = 0 . . . . . . subtract 120 to put in standard form

  (x -27)(x +3) = 0 . . . . .  .factor it

Solutions are ...

  x = 27, x = -3 . . . . . values of x that make the factors zero

The number of flags manufactured for a cost of $120 is 27 flags.
