Well, evaluating a function means plugging whatever they gave me in for the argument in the formula. This means that I have to plug this character "§" in for every instance of x. Here goes:
f (§) = (§)2 + 2(§) – 1
= §2 + 2§ – 1
This is definitely weird-looking, but it follows all the rules they gave me, so:
Divide 8 by 6 and you will get 1 and 1/3 pounds per dog. You can draw 6 dogs, then equally assign the pounds of dog food to each dog. I would not recommend this technique, however.
