Evaluate the function
g(x) = 2x2 + 3x – 5 for the input values -2, 0, and 3.
This is tedious math work but necessary to sharpen your skills.
Let x = -2
g(-2) = 2(-2)^2 + 3(-2) – 5
g(-2) = 2(4) - 6 - 5
g(-2) = 8 - 11
g(-2) = -3
Now let x = 0 and repeat the process.
g(0) = 2(0)^2 + 3(0) - 5
g(0) = 0 + 0 - 5
g(0) = -5
Lastly, let x = 3.
g(3) = 2(3)^2 + 3(3) - 5
g(3) = 2(9) + 9 - 5
g(3) = 18 + 9 - 5
g(3) = 27 - 5
g(3) = 22
Did you follow through each step?
Some triangles can have a right angle, but not all triangles are right angles. If a triangle has a right angle, it has one angle of 90°. Triangles have a total of 180°.
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
b. (2, 5, 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Trying the offered choices seems the fastest way to find the answer. The second choice works in all equations, hence is the solution.
Another strategy you can use is to see if the equations are dependent. Here, it looks like adding twice the third equation to the other two eliminates at least the x- and y-variables. If that eliminates z, then there are infinite solutions. Instead, it gives the equation ...
7z = 21
z = 3 . . . . . divide by 7
This answer is consistent with choice B, confirming that answer and eliminating the other choices.
