Given a function <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=f%28x%29%3D3x%5E4-5x%5E2%2B2x-3" id="TexFormula1" title="f(x)=3x^4-5x^2+2x-3"

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{f(-1) = -7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve for this function, we need to substitute in our value of x inside to find f(x). Since we are trying to evalue f(-1), we will substitute -1 in as x to our equation.

$f(-1) = 3(-1)^4 - 5(-1)^2 + 2(-1) - 3$

Now we can solve for the function by multiplying/subtracting/adding our known values.

Starting with the first term to the last term:

$3(-1)^4 = 3$

WAIT! How is this possible? $-1^4 = -1$ (according to my calculator), and $3 \cdot -1 = -3$ , not 3!

It's important to note that taking a power of a negative number and multiplying a negative number are two different things. Let's use $-2^2$ as an example.

What your calculator did was follow BEMDAS since it wasn't explicitly told not to.

BEMDAS:

- Brackets

- Exponents

- Multiplication/Division

- Addition/Subtraction

Examining the equation, your calculator used this rule properly. Note that exponents come over multiplication.

So rather than being "-2 squared" - it's "the negative of of 2 squared."

Tying this back into our problem, the squared method would only be true if it looks like $-1^4$ . However, since we're substituting in -1, it looks like $(-1)^4$ , so the expression reads out as "-1 to the fourth."

MULTIPLYING -1 by itself 4 times results in $-1\cdot-1\cdot-1\cdot-1=1$ .

Applying this logic to our original term, $3(-1)^4$ :

$3(-1\cdot-1\cdot-1\cdot-1)$
$3(1)$
$3$

Therefore, our first term is 3.

Let's move on to our second and third terms.

Second term: $-5x^2$

$-5(-1)^2$

Applying the same logic from our first term:

$-5(-1 \cdot -1)$
$-5(1)$
$-5$

Third term: $2x$

$2(-1) = -2$

-3 is just -3, no influence of x.

Combining our terms, we have $3-5-2-3$ .

This comes out to be -7, hence, the value of $f(-1)$ for our function $f(x)=3x^4-5x^2+2x-3$ is -7.

Hope this helped!

mixer [17]

we are given

In A 4 year period, About 80,000 acres of coastal wetlands in United States are lost each year.

so, total area =80000 acres

total time = 4 years

now, we can use formula

total change in wetlands = ( total area)/(total time)

now, we can plug values

total change in wetlands is

$=\frac{80000}{4} acre/year$

$=20000 acre/year$ ................Answer

Help me with these please

Answer:

A) SAS

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture gives us that two sides are congruent. We can see that an angle is congruent as well because they share a common point at their tip.

If we look at just the area of intersection, it looks like an X. Think of the X as two lines intersecting. Each side equals 180°, and because both triangles are made up of those sides, we can conclude that the angles are congruent as well.

Hope this helps!
