Answer:
-4 = ?
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Substitute -1 for x</u>
7x^3 + 5x^2 - 2 = ?
7(-1)^3 + 5(-1)^2 - 2 = ?
7(-1) + 5(1) - 2 = ?
-7 + 5 - 2 = ?
-4 = ?
Answer: -4 = ?
5*9=45
1*9=9
Then add both numbers together
45+9=54
<span>The correct answer is D) g(x) = -(x + 2)^2. The given formula F(x) = x^2 creates a parabola that is open at the top. To reflect this figure across the x-axis and have it open at the bottom, the y-position of the figure on the coordinate system for every x value, which is F(x) = y = x^2 has to be inverted. This is done by negating y and respectively x^2, so to reflect the figure on the x-axis the formula would now look like this: F(x) = -y = -x^2. To move any parabola two units to the left and thereby have its root be at -2, you would simply subtract -2 from every x-position of the figure in the coordinate system. For an inverted parabola like this one the value to move it on the x-axis has to be added instead and this results in the formula from answer D: g(x) = -(x+2)^2</span>
