Answer:
b. 4x^2 + 3x - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
The values of f(x) for the extremes of x are more positive than the value of f(x) for the middle x, so we know the parabola opens upward. That eliminates choice D.
It is probably easiest to evaluate the other expressions to see which one matches the given f(x) values. For the purpose, it is usually easier to use the Horner form of the equation.
a. f(-2) = (3(-2) +4)(-2) -6 = -2(-2) -6 = -2 ≠ 4
b. f(-2) = (4(-2) +3)(-2) -6 = -5(-2) -6 = 4 . . . . matches the given data point
c. Because (b) matches, we know this one will not.
The appropriate choice is B.
To simplify this expression, we are going to combine like terms.
First, we can see that we have two terms with the variables being multiplied together,
and
. Together, these add to
, so our expression is now:
We also have two terms with ,
and
. Together, these add to
, so our expression is now:
Our final expression is xy - yz + 5.
