Answer:

METHOD 1:

5x+7(x+1)=5x-21

5x+7x+7=5x-21

12x+7=5x-21

12x-5x=-21-7

7x=-28

x=28/7

x=4

METHOD 2:

5x+7(x+1)=5x-21

5x+7(x+1)=5x-21-5x

7(x+1)=-21

7x+7=-21

7x=-28

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

METHOD 1:

5x+7(x+1)=5x-21

5x+7x+7=5x-21

12x+7=5x-21

12x-5x=-21-7

7x=-28

x=28/7

x=4

METHOD 2:

5x+7(x+1)=5x-21

5x+7(x+1)=5x-21-5x

7(x+1)=-21

7x+7=-21

7x=-28

x=4

if f(x)=2(x)^2+5sqrt(x+2), complete the follwoing statement ( round your answer to the nearest hundreth) : f(0)=_____

Maslowich

Answer:

$f(0)=7.07$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the function $f(x)=2(x)^2+5\sqrt{(x+2)}$

In this case we want to find the value of f0)

To find f(0) you must replace the x in the function with the number 0 and solve as shown below

$f(0)=2(0)^2+5\sqrt{(0+2)}$

$f(0)=0+5\sqrt{(0+2)}$

$f(0)=5\sqrt{(2)}$

Therefore

$f(0)=7.07$
