I think you mean x^2 - 7x + 8
This is a basic factoring problem:
What two numbers multiply to make 8 and add to make -7?
There are no two numbers that work!
Therefore, it is prime
I’m going to go with Exponential
32 square root 6
use the pythagoream theorum
the sides would be 32 and 16. 16^2+x^2=32^2
F(x) = |2x-1|-5
f(x) = |2*(x)-1|-5
f(-3) = |2*(-3)-1|-5 ... replace every x with -3
f(-3) = |-6-1|-5
f(-3) = |-7|-5
f(-3) = 7-5
f(-3) = 2 which is the final answer
Side Note: the vertical bars mean "absolute value" which represents distance. Negative distance makes no sense which is why absolute value results are never negative.
