To find both f(8) and f(-5), we will need to plug in their values for x and solve for each. Then, we can subtract them to find the final answer.
Finding f(8):
f(8) = 3(8) - 2
f(8) = 24 - 2
f(8) = 22
Finding f(-5):
f(-5) = 3(-5) - 2
f(-5) = -15 - 2
f(-5) = -17
Subtracting f(8) and f(-5):
f(8) - f(-5)
22 - - 17
22 + 17
39
Hope this helps!! :)
because it's a linear function.
Answer:
182 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Time taken for first lap is 50 seconds and each subsequent lap takes 20% longer than previous
Solution:
Time taken for first lap = 50 sec
For second lap
Each subsequent lap takes 20% longer than previous
Previous lap time = 50 sec
second lap = 50 + 20% of 50
second lap
second lap
second lap
For third lap
Each subsequent lap takes 20% longer than previous
Previous lap time = 60 sec
Third lap = 60 + 20% of 60
Time taken for 3 laps is equal to sum of all three laps time.
Therefore, it takes 182 seconds (3 min, 2 seconds) to run three laps
The number you stated can also be written as 27,305.
