What is the range of the function f(x) = -2(64) + 3? 0 (-♾-2] 0 (-0,3) (-2,♾) (3.♾)

If a+2b/a-b =2/3 then b/a=?

Dominik [7]

Answer:

$\frac{b}{a}$ = - $\frac{1}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{a+2b}{a-b}$ = $\frac{2}{3}$ ( cross- multiply )

2(a - b) = 3(a + 2b) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides )

2a - 2b = 3a + 6b ( subtract 3a from both sides )

- a - 2b = 6b ( add 2b to both sides )

- a = 8b ( divide both sides by 8 )

- $\frac{1}{8}$ a = b ( divide both sides by a )

- $\frac{1}{8}$ = $\frac{b}{a}$

Given a function <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=f%28x%29%3D3x%5E4-5x%5E2%2B2x-3" id="TexFormula1" title="f(x)=3x^4-5x^2+2x-3"

Levart [38]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{f(-1) = -7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve for this function, we need to substitute in our value of x inside to find f(x). Since we are trying to evalue f(-1), we will substitute -1 in as x to our equation.

$f(-1) = 3(-1)^4 - 5(-1)^2 + 2(-1) - 3$

Now we can solve for the function by multiplying/subtracting/adding our known values.

Starting with the first term to the last term:

$3(-1)^4 = 3$

WAIT! How is this possible? $-1^4 = -1$ (according to my calculator), and $3 \cdot -1 = -3$ , not 3!

It's important to note that taking a power of a negative number and multiplying a negative number are two different things. Let's use $-2^2$ as an example.

What your calculator did was follow BEMDAS since it wasn't explicitly told not to.

BEMDAS:

- Brackets

- Exponents

- Multiplication/Division

- Addition/Subtraction

Examining the equation, your calculator used this rule properly. Note that exponents come over multiplication.

So rather than being "-2 squared" - it's "the negative of of 2 squared."

Tying this back into our problem, the squared method would only be true if it looks like $-1^4$ . However, since we're substituting in -1, it looks like $(-1)^4$ , so the expression reads out as "-1 to the fourth."

MULTIPLYING -1 by itself 4 times results in $-1\cdot-1\cdot-1\cdot-1=1$ .

Applying this logic to our original term, $3(-1)^4$ :

$3(-1\cdot-1\cdot-1\cdot-1)$
$3(1)$
$3$

Therefore, our first term is 3.

Let's move on to our second and third terms.

Second term: $-5x^2$

$-5(-1)^2$

Applying the same logic from our first term:

$-5(-1 \cdot -1)$
$-5(1)$
$-5$

Third term: $2x$

$2(-1) = -2$

-3 is just -3, no influence of x.

Combining our terms, we have $3-5-2-3$ .

This comes out to be -7, hence, the value of $f(-1)$ for our function $f(x)=3x^4-5x^2+2x-3$ is -7.

Hope this helped!

When CPI data is collected, what does the index value represent?

gladu [14]

Answer:

When CPI data is collected, what does the index value represent. Prices used to compute CPI are collected during the entire month, and that data is published monthly. So, the index value represents an estimate of the price level for the month as a whole, rather than a specific date.

Eva wants to make two pieces of pottery.She needs 3/5 pound of clay for one piece and 7/10 pound of clay for the other piece.She

marta [7]

Answer:

a) Eva will need 2 bags of clay to make both pieces of pottery.

b) She will have leftover $\frac{11}{10}$ pounds of clay.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi

a) We have to find the total amount of clay, as she needs $\frac{3}{5}pound=P_{1}$ and $\frac{7}{10}pound=P_{2}$ , so $P_{1}+P_{2}= \frac{3}{5} +\frac{7}{10} =\frac{6+7}{10}=\frac{13}{10}pounds$ , is the total amount of clay. Then as we Know that one bag of clay has $\frac{4}{5} =\frac{8}{10} pounds$ , It isn´t enough, but with two bags $2*\frac{8}{10}=\frac{16}{10} pounds$ , It is enough clay.

b) She will have leftover $\frac{16}{10} -\frac{13}{10} =\frac{3}{10}pounds$ of the second bag, then we add the third one, so $\frac{3}{10} +\frac{8}{10} =\frac{11}{10}pounds$ are leftover.
