Answer:

When we have a given function, y = f(x), the general way of graphing the function is finding a lot of coordinate pairs (x, f(x)) and graphing them in a coordinate axis, and then connect them.

So here we have:

p(x) = 2x^(3)+7x^(2)-3x-18

Just let's find the value of p(x) for different values of x, and let's do it.

p(0) = 2*0^(3)+7*0^(2)-3*0-18 = -18

Then the point (0, -18) belongs to the graph

p(1) = 2*1^(3)+7*1^(2)-3*1-18 = 2 + 7 - 3 - 18 = -12

then the point (1, - 12) belongs to the graph.

p(-1) =  2*(-1)^(3)+7*(-1)^(2)-3*(-1)-18  = -2 + 7 + 3 - 18 = -10

then the point (-1, -10) belongs to the graph:

p(2) =  2*2^(3)+7*2^(2)-3*2-18 = 16 + 28 - 6 - 18 =  20

Then the point (2, 20) belongs to the graph

p(-2) =  2*(-2)^(3)+7*(-2)^(2)-3*(-2)-18 = -16 + 28 + 6 - 18 = 0

Then the point (-2, 0) belongs to the graph.

p(-3) =  2*(-3)^(3)+7*(-3)^(2)-3*(-3)-18 = -54 + 63 + 9 - 18 = 0

Then the point (-3, 0) belongs to the graph.

Now that we have 6 points we can graph them and try to connect them.

We also know that this is a cubic polynomial, so we can expect that it changes its direction two times (no more than that) then knowing that we can estimate a shape for the graph, and you will obtain something like the graph of the image below, where I just connected the known points.

AfilCa [17]
The only thing we need to here to find who is correct is evaluate the function f(x)=-2 x^{2} +32 at x=3. To do that we are going to replace x with 3 in the function:
f(x)=-2 x^{2} +32
f(3)=-2 (3)^{2} +32
f(3)=-2 (9) +32
f(3)=-18+32
f(3)=14

We can conclude that Lynn is correct. f(3) is indeed 14.

The missing parts of the table for the function are 49, 1 and 49 respectively

<h3>How to complete the missing parts of the table?</h3>

An exponential function is a type of function which involves exponents. A simple exponential function is of the form y = bˣ

Given:  the exponential function y = (1/7)ˣ

In order to find the missing parts, we have to substitute the relevant values into the function. Thus:

For x = -2:

y = (1/7)ˣ

Substitute x = -2 into the function:

y = (1/7)⁻² = 49

For x = 0:

y = (1/7)ˣ

Substitute x = 0 into the function:

y = (1/7)⁰ = 1

For x = 2:

y = (1/7)ˣ

Substitute x = 2 into the function:

y = (1/7)² = 1/49

The missing part is 49

Therefore, the missing parts of the table are 49, 1 and 49 respectively

Answer:

  x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the figure is a parallelogram, the diagonals bisect each other. That means ...

  3x -11 = x +5

  2x = 16 . . . . . . . add 11-x to both sides

  x = 8 . . . . . . divide by 2
