Answer: f(3)= 36

Step-by-step explanation:

F(x)=5x2-9x+18

Looking at this equation;

F(x)=f(3)

I.e substitute

X=3

Substitute for x=3 in f(x)

F(3)= 5(3)2-9(3)+18

F(3)= 5(9)-27+18

F(3)= 45-27+18

F(3)= 36

So final answer is

F(3)= 36

Answer:

f(3) = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate f(3) substitute x = 3 into f(x), that is

f(3) = 5(3)² - 9(3) + 18 = 5(9) - 27 + 18 = 45 - 27 + 18 = 36

Use the quadratic formula to find the exact solutions of x2 - 5x - 2 = 0.

Fudgin [204]

Step-by-step explanation:

${x}^{2} - 5x - 2 = 0 \\ a = 1 \: and \: b = - 5 \: and \: c = - 2 \\ x = \frac{ - b± \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac } }{2a} \\ x = \frac{ - ( - 5)± \sqrt{ {( - 5)}^{2} - (4 \times 1 \times - 2)} }{(2 \times 1)} \\ x = \frac{5± \sqrt{33} }{2} \\ either : x = \frac{5 + \sqrt{33} }{2} \: or \: \frac{5 - \sqrt{33} }{2} \\ x = 5.4 \: or \: - 0.4$
