Answer:
f(-4)= -55
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find f(x), or y, when x is equal to -4.
Therefore, we can substitute -4 in for x in the function.
f(x) = -2x^2 + 4x - 7
Substitute -4 in for x
f(-4) = -2(-4^2) + 4(-4) - 7
Evaluate the exponent
f(-4)=-2(16)+4(-4)-7
Multiply -2 and 16
f(-4)= -32+4(-4)-7
Multiply 4 and -4
f(-4)=-32-16-7
Subtract
f(-4)=-55
use the midpoint formula. It's x1 + x2 / 2, y1+y2/2. When you solve you get (0, 1/2) is the midpoint. Hope this helps
