Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

factor the coefficients into primes

18 = 3 * 3 * 2

42 = 3* 2 * 7

- 12 = - 2 * 2 * 3

The primes that are underlined are 2 * 3 which is 6

The primes not in the brackets are what is inside the brackets.

6(3x^2 + 7x - 2)

Gareth has a deck of cards with 12 challenge cards and 8 prize cards. Gareth is going to randomly select a card from the deck 14

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

Gareth has a deck of cards with 12 challenge cards and 8 prize cards.

=> The probability he selects a prize card: P = 8/(12 + 8) = 8/20 = 0.4

Gareth is going to randomly select a card from the deck 148 times, replacing the card and shuffling the deck after each selection .

=>The randomness is kept same for all selecting times

Then the best prediction for the number of times Gareth will select a prize card:

=> N = 0.4 x 148 = 59.2 = 59 times

Hope this helps!

Find f(-2) for f(x)=2(4)^x

lesya692 [45]

For this case we have the following exponential function:
$f (x) = 2 (4) ^ x
$
To find the value of f (-2) what we must do is substitute the value of x = -2 in the given function.
We have then:
$f (x) = 2 (4) ^{-2}$
Then, rewriting the function we have:
$f (x) = \frac{2}{4^2}$
$f (x) = \frac{2}{16}$
Finally, simplifying we have:
$f (x) = \frac{1}{8}$
Answer:
The value of f (-2) is:
$f (x) = \frac{1}{8}$
option B
