YEAH YEAH YEAH IM A BIRD AND I FLY IN TREES
Hey there!
2x^2 - 5 / x + 9
= 2(-1)^2 - 5/ -1 + 9
= (2(-1)^2 - 5) / (-1 + 9)
= (2(1) - 5) / 8
= (2 - 5) / 8
= -3 / 8
≈ -0.375
Therefore, your answer is:
-3/8 OR -0.375
EITHER OF THOSE SHOULD WORK BECAUSE THEY ARE EQUIVALENT TO EACH OTHER!
Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
