Answer:

<em>f(-5)=149603</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Synthetic Substitution</u>

It's a method to find the value of a polynomial for a given value of x. The polynomial we want to evaluate is

f(x) = -x^7 + 4x^6 - 4x^5 - 6x^4 - 3x^3 - 6x^2 - x - 2

at x=-5

We can, of course, just replace x for -5 and compute the powers, products and sums and subtractions, but we can use the synthetic substitution to avoid the powers, just by multiplying and adding or subtracting. The method requires us to use only the coefficients of the ordered and complete polynomial as shown:

-1  4  -4  -6  -3  -6  -1  -2

Now we set up an arrangement where we can place some operations

     -1  4  -4  -6  -3  -6  -1  -2

-5

The second row and a new third row will be filled by computing values as explained below.

The first value of the third row is the very same first coefficient (-1)

     -1   4   -4   -6   -3   -6   -1   -2

-5

     -1

The second value of the second row is the -5 times the first value of the third row: (-5)(-1)=5

Next value of the third row is the sum of the values above of it: 4+5=9

-1 4 -4 -6 -3 -6 -1 -2

-5  5

-1 9

Now we proceed the same with next values to get the full arrangement or synthetic substitution

-1 4 -4 -6 -3    -6  -1  -2

-5  5 -45 245 -1195 5990 -29920 149605

-1 9 -49 239 -1198 5984 -29921 149603

The very last value of the third row is the required substitution

f(-5)=149603

The formatted table can be seen in the image below

12. A carpenter made two tables. The first table is 4 feet
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

a. True

b. True

c. False

d. False

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>First Table</u>

Length=10 feet, Width=4 feet

Area =10 X 4=40 Square Feet

<u>Second Table</u>

The second table is half as long  as the first table.

Length =0.5 X 10 =5 feet

Area=5 X Width= 5w

The area of the second table is one  fourth the area of the first table.

Area of Second Table =\frac{1}{4} X Area of first table

5w=\frac{1}{4} X 40

5w=10

Width of the Second table, w=2 feet

The following are true.

(a)The width of the second  table is 2 feet.

(b) The area of the second  table is 10 square feet.

What is an equation of the line that passes through point (5,-8) and is parallel to the line x+y=7
Igoryamba

Answer:

The line given is equal to y=-x+7 (Through rearranging)

To find the new line, we substitute the given coordinates (5,8) in the equation without the given y-intersect (+7):

-8=-5+c

c=-3

The line parallel to x+y=7 that passes through the point (5,-8) is y=-x-3
