Answer:

$\huge\boxed{44}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x) = x^2 +8\\\\Put \ x = -6\\\\f(-6) = (-6)^2 + 8\\\\f(-6) = 36 + 8\\\\f(-6) = 44\\\\\rule[225]{225}{2}$

Hope this helped!

Answer:

f(- 6) = 44

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate f(- 6) substitute x = - 6 into f(x) , that is

f(- 6) = (- 6)² + 8 = 36 + 8 = 44

X would equal 8

Step-by-step explanation:

5-3(8) = -19

5 multiplied by negative 3 times 8 equals negative 19

negative 3 times 8 equals negative 24 plus 5 equals 19

A shooting star forms a right triangle with the Earth and the Sun, as shown below:

frez [133]

The positions of the sun, earth and shooting star form a right angled triangle, where distance between earth and sun is 'y', and the angle 'x°' is given

Now, in a right angled triangle using trigonometry, we can determine a side of the triangle is one of the sides and one of the angles is known

Here, if we use cos x = $\frac{Base}{Hypotenuse}$ we can determine the distance between the shooting star and the sun. This can be done because we know that the base is 'y', the angle is x° and the hypotenuse represents the distance between the sun and the shooting star
