Answer:
f(3) = 15. Correct: D)
Explanation:
<u>Numeric Value of a Function</u>
The value of a function f(x) when x = a is calculated by replacing the x for a. We have the function:
It is required to find f(3), or the numeric value of f when x=3. Replace x for 3
A) Incorrect. f(3) is not 7
B) Incorrect. f(3) is not 10
C) Incorrect. f(3) is not 9
D) Correct. f(3) =15 as found above.
A polynomial is a collection of terms that are separated by a plus or a minus sign. There a few types of polynomials.
Monomials have one term.
Binomials have two terms.
Trinomials have three terms.
All of these are classified as a polynomial.
Once you go over 3 terms, it's simply called a polynomial.
Try this: Principal times (1+interest rate as a decimal fraction)^(number of yrs)
In this case, Principal = $28,000; interest rate = -0.25; # of years = 1
So Decrease in value = $28,000 (0.75)^1 = $21,000.
Answer:
-4/2, or finding slope is (difference of y)/(difference of x) inserting those numbers into the equation would be (-5-(-1))/(2-0), which would become -4/2, which is basically -2.
Answer for problem 1: slope = 2, y intercept = 3
Answer for problem 2: slope = 3/4, y intercept = -2
Explanation:
Both equations are in the form y = mx+b. This is known as slope intercept form. This is because we can read off the values of the slope and y intercept very quickly. We have y = 2x+3 match up with y = mx+b. The m is the slope and b is the y intercept. So m = 2 and b = 3 for this equation. A similar situation happens with the other equation as well. It might help to rewrite the second equation into y = (3/4)x + (-2).
