Step-by-step explanation:

$p(x) = {x}^{3} - 4x - 5 \\ p( - 2) = {( - 2)}^{3} - 4( - 2) - 5 \\ = - 8 + 8 - 5 \\ = - 5$

Answer:

The answer would be -5.

Step-by-step explanation:

First I plugged in negative 2 for every x in the equation, which gives me:

p(-2) = (-2)³ - (4(-2)) - 5.

We solve for the exponents first, which gives us a total of -8 because we are multiplying -2 by itself 3 times. Then we multiply 4 and -2, which gives us negstive 8. However, the first -8 and the second -8 cancel out because the equation has a - sign in between the two, leaving us with only -5. -5 is the answer.

.prove that cos (90-A).sinA + sin(90 - A).cosA = 1

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

$cos (90-A).sinA + sin(90 - A).cosA = 1 \\ \\ LHS = cos (90-A).sinA + sin(90 - A).cosA \\ \\ = sinA.sinA + cosA.cosA\\ \\ = sin ^{2} A + cos^{2} A \\ \\ = 1 \\ \\=RHS\\\\ reason \\ cos (90- \theta) = sin \theta \\ sin (90- \theta) = cos \theta \\ sin ^{2} \theta + cos^{2} \theta = 1 \\ \\ thus \: proved \\$

sarah spent a total of 10 on oranges and apples at the supet market. if she spent 3 dollars less for oranges than she did on app

beks73 [17]

Let's write 2 equations from the two statements given.

<em>Sarah spent 10 dollars on both oranges and apples</em>

<em />

Let the price of oranges be "x" and price of apples be "y", thus we can write:

$x+y=10$

Oranges cost 3 less than apples, thus we can say:

$y-3=x$

We can substitute this into the first equation and solve for y:

$\begin{gathered} x+y=10 \\ y-3+y=10 \\ 2y=10+3 \\ 2y=13 \\ y=\frac{13}{2} \\ y=6.5 \end{gathered}$

Thus, let's solve for x now,

$\begin{gathered} x=y-3 \\ x=6.5-3 \\ x=3.5 \end{gathered}$

We want the price of oranges (x), thus,

<em>Price of Oranges = $3.50</em>

The length of a square is 4x-3. Find the area in terms of x

prisoha [69]

Answer:

The area of square in terms of x = 16x² -24x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

It is stated in the question that the length of a square = 4x - 3

Formula to find the area of the square is

<h2 /><h2>Area = length²</h2><h2 />

Area = ( 4x - 3 )²

<em>by using ( a - b )² = a² + b² - 2ab</em>

here a = 4x and b = -3

So,

(4x)² + (-3)² - 2(4x)(3)

16x² + 9 - 2(12x)

16x² + 9 - 24x

16x² -24x + 9

The area of square in terms of x = 16x² -24x + 9

5 (x + 2) = 3 (x + 8)

aleksley [76]

So first you distribute the 5 to the x and the +2 and get
5x+10=3(x+8)
then you distribute the 3 to the other x and the +8 and get
5x+10=3x+24
subtract 3x from both sides
2x+10=24
subtract 10 from both sides and get
2x=14
divide both sides by 2 and get
x=7
