Answer:

Hello,

f'(-3) = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

f'(x) = 4 x + 7

f'(-3) = 4 (-3) + 7 = -12 + 7 = -5

or

f(-3) = 2 (-3)² + 7 (-3) = 18 - 21 = -3

f(-3 + h) = 2 (-3 + h)² + 7 (-3 + h)

= 2 (9 - 6h + h²) - 21 + 7h

= 18 - 12h + 2h²  - 21 + 7h

= 2h² - 5h - 3

( f(-3 + h) - f(-3) ) / h = 2h - 5

f'(-3) = lim h→0 ( f(-3 + h) - f(-3) ) / h = lim h→0 (2h - 5) = -5

Someone plz answer i rlly need help Solve for a.<br><br> a+(−1.6)=−3.7
Norma-Jean [14]
Hi there!

All you need to do to solve for a is add 1.6 to both sides of the equation.

It will look like this:
a - 1.6 + 1.6 = -3.7 + 1.6

After this you will see that a = -2.1.

Hope this helps!
When in doubt just replace a with -2.1 and see if you still get -3.7. :)

Eva8 [605]
5 out of 20 like Star Wars so what value (x) should like Star Wars out of 200. Set up a proportion comparing the two.

x= # of people in 7th gr who like Star Wars

5/20= x/200
cross multiply

(5*200)= (20*x)
1000= 20x
divide both sides by 20

50= x


ANSWER: 50 people in the 7th grade should like Star Wars.

Hope this helps! :)
