f(3) = 1.9
Solution:
Given function:
To find f(3):
Substitute x = 3 in the given function.
Let us first simplify 
.
Apply exponent rule: 
The value of 
. (using calculator)
Substitute this value in f(3).
f(3) = 1.9
Hence the value of f(3) is 1.9.
1/2 is bigger because 1/4 is half of half.
The answer is A because I said so
The first step is to find the slope. Use the slope formula
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
The two points are (x1,y1) = (-1,5) and (x2,y2) = (2,-1)
So,
x1 = -1
y1 = 5
and
x2 = 2
y2 = -1
will be plugged into the slope formula to get...
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (-1-5)/(2-(-1))
m = (-1-5)/(2+1)
m = (-6)/(3)
m = -2
The slope is -2
Use m = -2 and one of the points to find the y intercept b. I'll use the point (x,y) = (-1,5) ---> x = -1, y = 5
y = mx+b ... slope intercept form
5 = -2*(-1)+b
5 = 2+b
5-2 = 2+b-2
3 = b
b = 3
The y intercept is 3
-----------------------------------
m = -2 is the slope
b = 3 is the y intercept
Therefore y = mx+b turns into y = -2x+3 as the equation that goes through the two points
If you are looking to find the value of x then you have to use distributive property.
1st: multiply -3 by 2x and 4 -3(2x+4)
-6x -12
2nd: do the same thing on the other side which is multiply 3 by x and -6
3(x-6)
3x-18
3rd: Then you have -6x-12=3x-18
+12 +12
add 12 to each side so then you have -6x=3x-6
then divide by -6 on each side and the answer is x= 2/3
