y=x is a linear function. This is the only function not to a power
Answer:
c = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
If f(x) = 2x^3 - x + c and f(2) = 10, plug in 2 for the x values in the function and make the function output 10.
10 = 2(2^3) - 2 + c Now, we only have to deal with one variable, that is c.
10 = 2(8) - 2 + c
10 = 16 - 2 + c
10 = 14 + c
-4 = c After simplifying, we get that c is -4.
To check this, plug in 2 for x, and -4 for c in the function. If the function produces 10 as the result, the halleluja!
f(2) = 2(2^3) - 2 - 4
f(2) = 2(8) - 2 - 4
f(2) = 16 - 2 - 4
f(2) = 10
