17) replace the given number for "x" and evaluate
a) x² + 2x + 1 ; when x = 3
3² + 2(3) + 1
= 9 + 6 + 1
= 16
b) x² + 2x + 1 ; when x = -4
(-4)² + 2(-4) + 1
= 16 - 8 + 1
= 9
c) x² + 2x + 1 ; when x = 3
(-22.872)² + 2(-22.872) + 1
= 523.128384 - 45.744 + 1
= 478.384384
18) The dependent variable is affected by the other variable and is the "output" The independent variable is the input.
a) y = 3x - 5; "x" is the independent variable
b) the time of day is the independent variable (you would input the time of day to calculate the temperature).
19) Let the x-axis represent the length of the lumber cut off and the y-axis represent the length of the lumber remaining.
Kevin would be 24 because 4 times 6 equal to 24
Answer:
<h2>A: -12</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Put the values of a = -46 and b = 34 to the expression a + b:
-46 + 34 <em>use the commutative property a + b = b + a</em>
= 34 + (-46) = 34 - 46 = -12



To multiply powers of the same base, add their exponents.

Add 5 and 2 to get 7.

- The first option <em><u>n⁷</u></em><em><u> </u></em>is the correct answer.
