Answer:
put -2 in -2 / put -2 again in same spot and again just do it for 3 times then 1/3 in the middle of 0 and -2 but a bit closer to the -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = -7
Step-by-step explanation:
you have to distribute the 2 to what is in the parenthesis, then you get left with 2x+18=4 so subtract the 18 from both sides leaving you with 2x=-14 so you divide both by 2 leaving you with x=-7.
Part 1
<h3>Answer: 13</h3>
---------------------
Explanation:
We'll replace every copy of x with -3. Then use PEMDAS to simplify.
f(x) = -2x+7
f(-3) = -2(-3)+7
f(-3) = 6+7
f(-3) = 13
===========================================================
Part 2
<h3>Answer: -11</h3>
---------------------
Explanation:
We work backwards in a sense compared to what part 1 did. Instead of finding f(x) based on x, we determine what x must be for a given f(x).
We'll replace f(x) with 29 and solve for x like so
f(x) = -2x+7
29 = -2x+7
-2x+7 = 29
-2x = 29-7
-2x = 22
x = 22/(-2)
x = -11
Note how if you replaced x with -11, we'd get,
f(x) = -2x+7
f(-11) = -2(-11)+7
f(-11) = 22+7
f(-11) = 29
which helps confirm we have the correct answer.
Answer:
The vertex is (-3,-2)
The vertex is basically the very top or very lowest, so you will notice how values around (-3,-2) are relatively the same in the y coordinate, but -2 is the "highest/lowest" so that's how you know it's a vertex.
If you try picturing the points in your head, you will see it make a U and at the bottom of the U is the vertex.
