These are pretty easy once you get the concept.
think of <em>random letter</em> (x) as the term y, so in the case of p(x)=-3+4x, its just asking what is y when x equals all those values.
so p(-2) = -3 + 4(-2), since its asking to plug in -2 for x, which equals -11
p(0) = -3 + 4(0)
= -3
p(5) = -3 + 4(5)
= 17

Answer:
C. 18 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The median of a trapezoid is the line segment that joins the midpoints of the sides of the trapezoid. It is halfway between the parallel bases, and is parallel to them. It length is the average of the lengths of the two bases:
(15 +21)/2 = 36/2 = 18 . . . . inches
The volume formula for a sphere is 4/3 Pi R^3 (Radius cubed).
6.5 x 6.5 x 6.5 = 274.625
274.625 x 3.14 = 862.3225
862.3225 x (4/3) = 1149.763
I hope this helps!
