Answer:
f(-2) =8
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 3x^2+x-2
Let x = -2
f(-2) = 3 * (-2)^2 + (-2) -2
= 3(4) -2 -2
=12 -2-2
=10 -2
=8
"a rise of a quarter from last year" means the percentage went up by 25%
x = old value
x + 25% of x = x + 0.25x = 1.25x = new value = 0.25 since "1 in 4" means 1/4 = 0.25
So,
1.25x = 0.25
x = 0.25/1.25
x = 0.2
x = 2/10
x = 1/5
