When you create the number line, put 0 in the middle. Basically you put all the numbers you got from least to greatest on the number.
Since -3/2 is less than 0, it will go to the left of 0.
Since 3/2 and 5/2 are greater than 0, it will go to the right of 0.
Remember to use sub points of 1.
Best of Luck!

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
f(x) = 3x + 1
f(-2) is x = -2
<u>Step 2: Evaluate</u>
- Substitute in <em>x</em>: f(-2) = 3(-2) + 1
- Multiply: f(-2) = -6 + 1
- Add: f(-2) = -5
Answer:



Step-by-step explanation:

They wanted to complete the square so they took the thing in front of x and divided by 2 then squared. Whatever you add in, you must take out.

Now we are read to write that one part (the first three terms together) as a square:

I don't see this but what happens if we find a common denominator for those 2 terms after the square. (b/2a)^2=b^2/4a^2 so we need to multiply that one fraction by 4a/4a.

They put it in ( )

I'm going to go ahead and combine those fractions now:

I'm going to factor out a -1 in the second term ( the one in the second ( ) ):

Now I'm going to add (b^2-4ac)/(4a^2) on both sides:

I'm going to square root both sides to rid of the square on the x+b/(2a) part:


Now subtract b/(2a) on both sides:

Combine the fractions (they have the same denominator):

The answer is n= 3.
Hope this helps.
