Hi again!

n = 3

Evaluate:

n² - 5n + 2

(3)² - 5(3) + 2

9 - 15 + 2

-6 + 2

= -4

As always, it is my pleasure to help students like you!

The first step to solving this is to put the 3 in where n is.
(3)² - 5(3) + 2
now we start to solve by evaluating the power
9 - 5 x 3 + 2
next youll multiply -5 by 3
9 - 15 + 2
use both addition and subtraction rules to calculate the expression.
-4
this means that the correct answer to your question is -4.
let me know if you have any further questions

Part A. What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to a line whose equation is −2y=3x+7?

Rewrite the equation −2y=3x+7 in the form $y=-\dfrac{3}{2}x-\dfrac{7}{2}.$ Here the slope of the given line is $m_1=-\dfrac{3}{2}.$ If $m_2$ is the slope of perpendicular line, then

$m_1\cdot m_2=-1,\\ \\m_2=-\dfrac{1}{m_1}=\dfrac{2}{3}.$

Answer 1: $\dfrac{2}{3}$

Part B. The slope of the line y=−2x+3 is -2. Since $-\dfrac{3}{2}\neq -2\quad \text{and}\quad \dfrac{2}{3}\neq -2,$ then lines from part A are not parallel to line a.

Since $-2\cdot \left(-\dfrac{3}{2}\right)=3\neq -1\quad \text{and}\quad -2\cdot \dfrac{2}{3}=-\dfrac{4}{3}\neq -1,$ both lines are not perpendicular to line a.

Answer 2: Neither parallel nor perpendicular to line a

Part C. The line parallel to the line 2x+5y=10 has the equation 2x+5y=b. This line passes through the point (5,-4), then

2·5+5·(-4)=b,

10-20=b,

b=-10.

Answer 3: 2x+5y=-10.

Part D. The slope of the line $y=\dfrac{x}{4}+5$ is $\dfrac{1}{4}.$ Then the slope of perpendicular line is -4 and the equation of the perpendicular line is y=-4x+b. This line passes through the point (2,7), then

7=-4·2+b,

b=7+8,

b=15.

Answer 4: y=-4x+15.

Part E. Consider vectors $\vec{p}_1=(-c-0,0-(-d))=(-c,d)\quad \text{and}\quad \vec{p}_2=(0-b,a-0)=(-b,a).$ These vectors are collinear, then

$\dfrac{-c}{-b}=\dfrac{d}{a},\quad \text{or}\quad -\dfrac{a}{b}=-\dfrac{d}{c}.$

Answer 5: $-\dfrac{a}{b}=-\dfrac{d}{c}.$
