So you know that the carpenter has a board that is 18.5ft long and he wants to cut 1.75ft pieces.

Assume that <em>x</em> is the amount of boards he cuts,

1.75<em>x</em> = 18.5

Isolate <em>x</em> by dividing each side by 1.75.

<em>x </em>= 18.5/1.75 = 10.57 pieces.

F(3)= 5x^2 - 4x + 9<br> evaluate this quadratic function
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

f(3) = 38

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the quadratic function

f\left(x\right)=\:5x^2\:-\:4x\:+\:9

Evaluating the quadratic function

f\left(x\right)=\:5x^2\:-\:4x\:+\:9

substitute x = 3

f\left(3\right)=\:5\left(3\right)^2\:-\:4\left(4\right)\:+\:9

f(3) = 45-16+9

f(3) = 38

Therefore,

  • f(3) = 38
