As determined by the graph, f(-9) = 9
a. Answer: m = 2
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
f(x) = x² - 4x + 1
f(m) = m² - 4m + 1 = -3
m² - 4m + 4 = 0
(m - 2)(m - 2) = 0
m = 2

b. Answer: k = 2 and k = 5
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
f(x) = x² - 7x + 14
f(k) = k² - 7k + 14 = 4
k² - 7k + 10 = 0
(k - 2)(k - 5) = 0
k = 2 k = 5
Answer:
-150
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 - 7x^2 - 18x +42
3^2 - 7(3)^2 - 18(3) + 42
9 - 63 - 54 + 42
-54 -54 + 42
-108 + 42
-150
2s + s = 36
3s = 36
s = 36/3
s = 12
Answer:
final cost of 3 pounds: <u> 8 dollars </u>
final cost of p pounds: <u> 3.75p - 3.25 dollars </u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Each pound costs $3.75, so 3 pounds cost 3*3.75 = 11.25 dollars. Subtract off the $3.25 to get the final cost to be 11.25-3.25 = 8 dollars. This takes care of the first part.
For the second part, the expression for the final cost is 3.75p - 3.25; where the 3.75p is the cost before the coupon is applied. If you plugged p = 3 into that expression, you should get 8 as a result. The variable p is some positive whole number. It's a place holder for the number of pounds of apples.
