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

In the metric system, which of the following is correct? a:) 1,000= 1 milliliter
Maksim231197 [3]
The correct answer for the given question above would be option C. In the metric system, the one that has shown a correct equivalent of measurement is 100 centimeter = 1 meter. And in every 1 centimeter, there is 0.01 meter. The rest of the options are not correct so the answer is C.

___ cosb =1/2 sin(a+b)+sin(a-b)?
vodomira [7]

Answer:

That would be sina.

Step-by-step explanation:

sin(a+b) = sinacosb + cosasinb

sin(a-b) = sinacosb -  cosasinb

Adding we get  sin(a+b) + sin(a-b) = 2sinaccosb

so sinacosb = 1/2sin(a+b) + sin(a-b)

julia puts her stickers into arrays in an album. some of her stickers are animal stickers. there are a different number of stick
lina2011 [118]

The total number of stickers :

Page 1 : 28

Page 2 : 24

Page 3 : 72

Page 4 : 48

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

There are several properties in integer multiplication operations

  • 1. closed property

Multiplication between integers will produce integers too

  • 2. commutative property

a x b = b x a

  • 3. associative property

ax (bxc) = (axb) xc

  • 4. identity

ax1 = 1 x a = a

  • 5. distributive  property

* addition

ax (b + c) = axb + axc

* substraction

ax (b-c) = axb - axc

We can use facts to solve multiplication problems

for example :

6 x 7 = (5 x 7) + ( 1 x 7) = 42

we can break facts with 6 into  5s and 1s facts from multiplication above

julia puts her stickers into arrays in an album

From picture (attached) we can find the total number of stickers on each page with 1s,2s,3s and 5s facts

  • Page 1 : 4 x 7 = (2 x 7) + ( 2 x 7) = 14 + 14 = 28
  • Page 2 : 4 x 6 = (1 x 6) + (3 x 6) = 6 + 18 = 24
  • Page 3 : 8 x 9 = ( 3 x 9) + (5 x 9) = 27 + 45 = 72
  • Page 4 : 8 x 6 = (3 x 6) + (5 x 6) = 18 + 30 = 48
