Answer: Choice A) 
There's an open hole at -3 and shading to the right of this hole.
The hole indicates "do not include this endpoint". So we won't have an "or equal to" as part of the inequality sign.
The shading is to the right meaning we are shading everything larger than -3.
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given function expression</u>
f(x) = -5x² - x + 20
Requirement of the question
Find the value of f(3)
<u>Substitute the values into the function</u>
f(x) = -5x² - x + 20
f(3) = -5(3)² - (3) + 20
<u>Simplify the exponents</u>
f(3) = -5(9) - 3 + 20
<u>Simplify by multiplication</u>
f(3) = -45 - 3 + 20
<u>Simplify by subtraction and addition</u>
f(3) = -48 + 20

Hey there! :)
Answer:
f(-2) = -148.
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate f(-2), simplify substitute -2 for x in the equation. Therefore:
f(x) = 4x³ -12x² + 40x + 12
Becomes:
f(-2) = 4(-2)³ - 12(-2)² + 40(-2) + 12
Simplify:
f(-2) = 4(-8) - 12(4) - 80 + 12
f(-2) = -32 - 48 -80 + 12
Finally, you get:
f(-2) = -148.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:
(2, - 5 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
y = - 3x + 1 → (1)
4x + y = 3 → (2)
Substitute y = - 3x + 1 into (2)
4x - 3x + 1 = 3
x + 1 = 3 ( subtract 1 from both sides )
x = 2
Substitute x = 2 into (1) for corresponding value of y
y = - 3(2) + 1 = - 6 + 1 = - 5
solution is (2, - 5 )
