Answer:
C. {-1, 5, 8}
Step-by-step explanation:
Use each of the domain values in the function to see what the corresponding range value is.
f(-1) = 5 -3(-1) = 8
f(0) = 5 -3(0) = 5
f(2) = 5 -3(2) = -1
The range is the set of numbers {-1, 5, 8}.

<em>Additional comment</em>
The values in a set are generally listed lowest to highest. The coefficient of x in the equation for f(x) is negative, meaning the lowest range value will correspond to the highest domain value. If you start by finding f(2) = -1, you immediately eliminate all answer choices except B and C.
Those choices differ only in the middle value, so you can tell which is correct by evaluating f(x) for the middle domain value: f(0) = 5. Only one answer choice has both -1 and 5 in the set.
(There are two answers here: how you work the problem, and how you game a multiple choice question.)

Find an equation of the plane that contains the points p(5,−1,1),q(9,1,5),and r(8,−6,0)p(5,−1,1),q(9,1,5),and r(8,−6,0).

Given plane passes through:
p(5,-1,1), q(9,1,5), r(8,-6,0)
We need to find a plane that is parallel to the plane through all three points, we form the vectors of any two sides of the triangle pqr:
pq=p-q=<5-9,-1-1,1-5>=<-4,-2,-4>
pr=p-r=<5-8,-1-6,1-0>=<-3,5,1>
The vector product pq x pr gives a vector perpendicular to both pq and pr. This vector is the normal vector of a plane passing through all three points
pq x pr
=
i j k
-4 -2 -4
-3 5 1
=<-2+20,12+4,-20-6>
=<18,16,-26>
Since the length of the normal vector does not change the direction, we simplify the normal vector as
N = <9,8,-13>
The required plane must pass through all three points.
We know that the normal vector is perpendicular to the plane through the three points, so we just need to make sure the plane passes through one of the three points, say q(9,1,5).
The equation of the required plane is therefore
Π : 9(x-9)+8(y-1)-13(z-5)=0
expand and simplify, we get the equation
Π : 9x+8y-13z=24
Check to see that the plane passes through all three points:
at p: 9(5)+8(-1)-13(1)=45-8-13=24
at q: 9(9)+8(1)-13(5)=81+9-65=24
at r: 9(8)+8(-6)-13(0)=72-48-0=24
So plane passes through all three points, as required.
Solution:
<u>We know that:</u>
<em>Since we are already given the base and the height, we can substitute them into the formula to find the area of the triangle.</em>
<u>Cancel out the "2" by dividing it by 18.</u>
<u>Simplify the multiplication.</u>
