In order to solve this, we need to select the function that meets our constraints. Since x^2 - 5 occurs when x is less than 3, and the x-value we are given is -4, we use the first function.
f(-4) = (-4)^2 - 5
f(-4) = 16 - 5
f(-4) = 11
A point? I am not sure if ur talking about 2d or 3D
This means that all of the points are co-linear. This is because if EG is a segment that contains F, and EN is a segment that contains M, then there can be two different segments. However, for a point F on the first segment and a point M on a second segment be in the same line as an end point of one of the segments, the segments have to be co-linear. They overlap.
Your answer is 160
2 times Negative 8 plus 5 times Negative 2 is 160 cause the negatives cancel out
