Answer:
f(-3)
f(a) = -2a² - 5a + 4
Substitute a with its value, -3
f(-3) = -2(-3²) - 5(-3) + 4
f(-3) = -2(9) + 15 + 4
f(-3) = -18 + 19
f(-3) = 1
the value of f(-3) is 1.

Use the formula: (a+b)(a-b) = a^2 - b^2
![x^4 - [(x^2)^2 - 1^2]\\\\x^4 - (x^4-1)\\\\x^4 - x^4 + 1\\\\\boxed{\bf{1}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%5E4%20-%20%5B%28x%5E2%29%5E2%20-%201%5E2%5D%5C%5C%5C%5Cx%5E4%20-%20%28x%5E4-1%29%5C%5C%5C%5Cx%5E4%20-%20x%5E4%20%2B%201%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Cboxed%7B%5Cbf%7B1%7D%7D)
No matter what the value of 'x' is, the final answer will always be
1.
You can either graph it, or input values of x to follow the order of operations and determine values of y.
Answer:
a) 
b) 
c) 
Step-by-step explanation:
If we work with the limits defined from 5 to 10 then part b and c from this question not makes sense. If we work with the limits 1 and 6 all the parts for the question makes sense because if we work with 5 and 10 the only thing that we can find is the expected value 
Assuming the following correct question : "A publication released the results of a study of the evolution of a certain mineral in the Earth's crust. Researchers estimate that the trace amount of this mineral x in reservoirs follows a uniform distribution ranging between 1 and 6 parts per million"
Solution to the problem
Let A the random variable that represent " amount of the mineral x ". And we know that the distribution of A is given by:

Part a
For this uniform distribution the expected value is given by
where X is the random variable, and a,b represent the limits for the distribution. If we apply this for our case we got:

Part b
For this case we can use the cumulative distribution function for the uniform distribution given by:

And we want this probability:
Part c
For this case we want this probability:
