Answer: - 28

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = -5x^2 - x + 20

To find f(3), we simply put x = 3 and then simplify

f(3) = - 5(3)^2 - 3 + 20

= -5(9) - 3 + 20

= -45 - 3 + 20

= -48 +20

= -28

f(3) = -28

F(x) = -5x^2 - x + 20;

f(3) = -5*3^2 - 3 + 20 = -5*9 - 3 + 20 = -45 - 3 + 20 = -28;

What is the solution to the inequality

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

p > 5 and p <-8

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, you first need to isolate p.

First add 6 on both sides of the equation:

$-6 + |2p+3| >7\\\\(+6) -6 + |2p+3| >7 +6\\\\2p + 3 > 13$

Then subtract 3 from both sides of the equation.

$2p+3-3>13-3\\\\2p > 10\\$

The divide both sides by 2.

$\dfrac{2p}{2}>\dfrac{10}{2}\\\\p>5$

Another solution is possible because of the absolute value.

If $|2p+3|>13$

Then $|2p+3|$

Thus we can solve the second solution:

$|2p+3|$

$2p+3$

Isolate P again by subtracting both sides by 3

$2p+3-3$

$2p$

Then divide both sides by 2:

$\dfrac{2p}{2}$

$p$

Reasoning triangle $abc$ has a perimeter of $12$ units. the vertices of the triangle are $a(x,\ 2),\ b(2,-2)$ , and $c(-1,\ 2)$

OlgaM077 [116]

hmmm let's find the distance between B and C first off.

$~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points} \\\\ B(\stackrel{x_1}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-2})\qquad C(\stackrel{x_2}{-1}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{2})\qquad \qquad d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2} \\\\\\ BC=\sqrt{(~~-1 - 2~~)^2 + (~~2 - (-2)~~)^2} \implies BC=\sqrt{(-1 -2)^2 + (2 +2)^2} \\\\\\ BC=\sqrt{( -3 )^2 + ( 4 )^2} \implies BC=\sqrt{ 9 + 16 } \implies BC=\sqrt{ 25 }\implies BC=5$

hmmm if BC is that much, then AB + AC = 7, since AB + AC + BC = 12 which is the perimeter, Check the picture below.

Leon charged $75 at an interest rate of 12.5% how much will Leon have to pay after one month if he makes no payments

OlgaM077 [116]

So basically, let's look at the given. In the problem, Leon is charged a fee of 75. The interest rate would be 12.5 % if he doesn't pay his due amount. So in order to get the total amount that he has to pay if he doesn't pay on time, you just need to multiply 75 with 12.5% or simply 0.125. If you do this, you will get 9.375. After that, you add 9.375 to the principal amount which is 75 and you will get 84.375. So Leon has to now pay a total of 84.375.

I hope this HELP! :)
