Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
f ( x ) = 3x² - 2x
To find : f ( - 2 )
f ( - 2 ) = f ( x )
Here,
x = - 2
f ( - 2 ) = 3 ( - 2 )² - 2 ( - 2 )
= 3 ( 4 ) - 2*( - 2 )
= 3*4 + 4
= 12 + 4
f ( - 2 ) = 16

Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply the rate per hour by the number of hours (n) and add the deposit.
A)
Bike shop x: c = 2.75n + 3.00
Bike shop z: c = 1.75n + 7.00
B) to find when they will cost the same set the equations equal to each other and solve for n:
2.75n + 3.00 = 1.75n + 7.00
Subtract 3 from each side:
2.75n = 1.75n + 4.00
Subtract 1.75n from both sides:
1.00n = 4.00
Divide both sides by 1:
n = 4 hours
Part A)
His sample only involves days during the summer (if Devin is in the northern hemisphere), which would mean that the high temperatures he'll record are likely to be higher than the average. Therefore, the sample mean he computes does not represent the average high temperature for the whole year.
----------------------------------------
Part B)
To correct his mistake, he needs to sample every day of the year. Or he could sample a few days of each month (say the first ten days of each month). That way the entire year is better represented. The other seasons of spring, fall and winter are included now.
