Answer:

a=8

Step-by-step explanation:

-5(a+3)=-55

First you times the bracket by -5

-5a-15=-55

Then you add the 15 to -55 because since the 15 is a negative on the right it has to be the opposite to the left

-5a=-40

Then you divide both sides by negative 5

-5a . = . -40

--------- ----------

- 5 -5

a= 8

What is the value of f(-2) if f(x) = - 3x2 + 4x - 1

pashok25 [27]

Given the function below:

$\large{f(x) = - 3 {x}^{2} + 4x - 1}$

To find f(-2), we substitute x = -2 in the equation. Since f(-2) means the value of f(x) at x = -2.

$\large{f( - 2) = - 3 {( - 2)}^{2} + 4( - 2) - 1}$

Replace x-term to -2 and evaluate.

$\large{f( - 2) = - 3(4) - 8 - 1} \\ \large{f( - 2) = - 12 - 8 - 1 \longrightarrow f( - 2) = - 21}$

Answer

f(-2) = -21

An equation of a circle is given as (x + 6)2 + (y − 7)2 = 81. Find the center and radius of the circle.

choli [55]

The equation of a circle is written as (x – h)^2 + (y – k)^2 = r^2

h and k are the center point and r is the radius.

In the given equation h = -6 and k = 7 and r would be the square root of 81, which is 9.

Center (-6,7)

Radius = 9
