F(-5) = -5^2 - 2*(-5) - 7 = 25 - (-10) - 7 = 25 + 10 - 7 = 25 + 3 = 28
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
From the graph,
The initial red incline is a straight line passing through the origin.
So, a straight line passing through the origin is of the form:

Where, 'm' is the slope.
Now, the slope of a given as the change in y value to change in x value.
Consider the two end points of the red line (0, 0) and (4, 6).
The slope with two points
on the line is given as:

Plug in
. Therefore, slope is:

Hence, the equation of the initial red incline is:

Answer:
x² - 12x + 27
Step-by-step explanation:
(f + g)(x)
= f(x) + g(x)
= x² - 13x + 36 + x - 9 ← collect like terms
= x² - 12x + 27 ← in standard form
