Sarah has 2 3/4 more meters of rope.
<h3>Given</h3>
... f(x) = x² -4x +1
<h3>Find</h3>
... a) f(-8)
... b) f(x+9)
... c) f(-x)
<h3>Solution</h3>
In each case, put the function argument where x is, then simplify.
a) f(-8) = (-8)² -4(-8) +1 = 64 +32 + 1 = 97
b) f(x+9) = (x+9)² -4(x+9) +1
... = x² +18x +81 -4x -36 +1
... f(x+9) = x² +14x +46
c) f(-x) = (-x)² -4(-x) +1
... f(-x) = x² +4x +1
We have a + b = 180 and a = 12 + b;
Then, 12 + b + b = 180;
12 + 2b = 180;
2b = 168;
b = 84;
a = 12 + 84;
a = 96;
First put the equation in y=mx+b form then plot the b and count off the slope.
