Answer:
f(2) = 12
f(x) = 7, x = -3, 1
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>a)</u>
plug in x as 2
f(x) = 2^2 + 2(2) + 4
f(x) = 4 + 4 + 4
f(x) = 12
<u>b)</u>
replace f(x) with 7
7 = x^2 + 2x + 4
x^2 + 2x - 3 (move 7 to other side)
Factor
ac: -3x^2
b: 2x
split b into 3x, -x
(x^2 -x) + (3x - 3)
↓ ↓
x(x-1) + 3(x-1)
Factor: (x-1)(x+3) = 0
Solve using Zero Product Property:
x - 1 = 0, x + 3 = 0
x = 1, x = -3
Answer:X = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Since 6x - 44 and 88 degrees are the same (exterior angles), we can start off with the first equation, 6x - 44 = 88
6x - 44 = 88
+44 +44
6x = 132
÷6 ÷6
x = 22
same with the second problem (exterior angles are equal):
equation:
15x + 6 = 9x + 54
-6 -6
15x = 9x + 48
-9x -9x
6x = 48
÷6 ÷6
x = 8
Hope this helped! :D
