Answer:

a = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

P(a/3 , 2) is mid-point of Q (-5 , 4) and R (-1 , 0)

a/3 = (-5 + (-1))/2 = -6/2 = -3

a = -9

Two integers, a and b have product of -48 what is the greatest possible sum of a and b.
dusya [7]
The factors of 48 are:
1 x 48
2 x 24
3 x 16
4 x 12
6 x 8
and visa versa:   48 x 1  etc.

To make the product negative, one of the factors has to be positive and one has to be negative.  To find the greatest sum, make the bigger number the positive factor and the smaller number the negative factor.  So, -1 x 48 = -48 and the sum of -1 + 48 = 47 which would be the greatest possible sum.

Evaluate each function.<br> 1) f(x) = x2 + 4x; Find f(-7)
katrin [286]

Answer:

The answer is -77

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so assuming by x2 you mean x squared, I will solve this. So basically when you have a function, f(-7) would mean that you would have to replace all the x's in the equation with -7. So let's write that out. that would be f(-7) = -7^2 + (-7*4). So now according to PEMDAS, you would solve the exponent first, and -7^2 is equal to -49, because when you solve it you would do -(7^2), which is -(49), which is then -49. So now you have f(-7)= -49+ (4*-7). Solving for (4*-7), you get -28. This leaves you with -49 + (-28), which is -49 - 28. Simplifying that, you get the answer, which is -77.
