We are asked to determine the value of a such that the function f(x) = ax^2 + 5 is fit for the point given (-1,2). In this case, we substitute 2 to y and -1 to x. The result is then 2 = a*(-1)^2 + 5 ; 2 = a + 5; a is then equal to -3
Answer:
x ≤ -15
Step-by-step explanation:
-x / 3 ≥ 5
multiply by 3
-x ≥ 15
add x to both sides and subtract 15 from both sides
-15 ≥ x or x ≤ -15
I don't know if I did it right but here's my guess. I think you multiply 7 by 20% and that gives you 1.40 as a result. Compared to the other method I used (division), I'm pretty sure I'm right since the other result was 35. Doesn't make sense if the end amount was $7.
