Answer:
f(-2) = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
One way of doing this is to substitute -2 for x in every place where x shows up:
f(x) = 4x + 3x^2 − 5 → f(-2) = 4(-2) + 3(-2)^2 − 5
→ f(-2) = -8 + 3(4) - 5, or f(-2) = 4 - 5, or f(-2) = -1
The definition is pretty simple:

So, we only have to sum the expressions:

Answer:
j + 47 = 53
Step-by-step explanation:
Sheila is incorrect! I think what she did is think the 38 was actually a 35, which WOULD of made her statement true, but since it's 38, she's very incorrect. Sheila should be using the quotient for the size of each piece. 38 divided by 5 is 7.6. The correct answer is 7.6 inches.
