Answer:
(a) -6
Step-by-step explanation:
P(x) = ax^3 +bx - 3
- P(-1) = -a-b-3 = 0
- therefore a+b=-3
- P(1) = a+b-3
- P(1) = -3 - 3 = -6
- (a)
Twice means times 2.
1) 2(ab) gives twice the product of a and b.
2) (2a)b gives the product of twice a and b.
Hey there!
Okay, so when you get a problem like this, all you need to do in insert the given value into the function and solve.
For example:
As you can see, they state that <em>(a) = 27, </em>so you insert 27 in for a in the function and it will look like this:
h(27) = 3(27) + 5
Now you solve on the right side of the equal sign:
3(27) = 81 (you multiply them)
81 + 5 = 86
When you plug the value of 27 in for a in this function, your output is equal to 86.
