To solve this, we simply need to break down the words and turn each part into an equation.
"Three times"
This shows that we will be multiplying 3 and something.
3*
"a number"
This shows that the number we will be multiplying 3 by is "n," which represents a number.
3*n or 3n
"plus 16"
This shows we will be adding 16 to the rest of the equation.
3n+16
Using the logic above, we can see that the equation to represent this is 3n+16.
Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
f ( x ) = 3x² - 2x
To find : f ( - 2 )
f ( - 2 ) = f ( x )
Here,
x = - 2
f ( - 2 ) = 3 ( - 2 )² - 2 ( - 2 )
= 3 ( 4 ) - 2*( - 2 )
= 3*4 + 4
= 12 + 4
f ( - 2 ) = 16
C is the correct answer, -7 is smaller than 7.
