Answer:

(f-4) = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=x^2-2x.

The given function is a function of x such that the value of the function at any time is determined by the value of x at that time. Therefore, the value of the function is determined by substituting a value for x in the equation, x^2-2x

We want to determine f(-4)

From the information given, x would take the value of -4

So x = -4. Therefore, we will substitute x = - 4 into equation x^2-2x

This becomes

f (-4) = (-4^2) - (2 × -4)

f(-4) = 16 + 8

(f-4) = 24

So the value of the function, f(x)=x^2-2x at (f-4) is 24

Write a quadratic function with zeros -1 and 5.

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

$x^2+4x-5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Zeros of a quadratic equation are -1 and 5.

Sum of zeros = -1 + 5 = 4

Product of zeros = (-1)(5) = -5

The quadratic equation will be :

$x^2+(\text{sum of zeros})x+\text{product of zeros}\\\\=x^2+4x-5$

So, the required quadratic equation is $x^2+4x-5$ .

Slope of -2 through point (5,2)

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Through -3 , -2 slope = -2/3

y1 = -2 & x1 = -3 and m = -2/3

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - (-2) = -2/3(x - (-3))

y + 2 = -2/3(x + 3)

Multiply each term by 3

3y + 6 = -2(x + 3)

3y + 6 = -2x - 6

3y = -2x - 6 - 6

3y = -2x - 12
