Ask them to first estimate the quotient and then to find the actual
hi,
you must replace x by the number between parenthese.
I show you with the first one and let you do the second one
p(x) = 11x^5 -11x^4 - 5x^2 +15x-8
p(-4) = 11 (-4)^5 - 11 (-4)^4 -5(-4)² +15(-4) -8
p(-4) = 11 ( -1024- 256) - 5*16 -60-8
p(-4) = 11 ( -1280) -80-60-8
p(-4) = - 14080 - 148
p(-4) = - 14 228
Answer:
The equation of the line is y = -7/8x + 11/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have the slope and a point to start, we can use point-slope form to find the equation.
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
Use the slope for m and the point at (x1, y1). Then solve for y.
y - 9 = -7/8(x + 4)
y - 9 = -7/8x - 7/2
y = -7/8x + 11/2
Since x and y are directly related, the equation for their comparison will look like
kx = y
where k is your constant. They give you an instance in the problem where x = 27 and y = 81. Plug this into the above equation and solve for k.
kx = y
k (27) = 81
k = 3
Thus, the constant of variation is 3.
