If f(x) = 8x2-5, what is f(-1)

Mathematics
2 answers:
Klio2033 [76]3 years ago
5 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember math is a language

f(x) : A function of x where x can be <em>any</em><em> </em>number including a number you choose

when you see f(-1), this tells you what the function is at <em>this</em> given x value. So you substitute - 1 wherever you see x

8(-1)2 - 5

Answer:3

Step-by-step explanation:

Simply plug in -1 for anywhere you see x in the equation so...

8(-1)^2-5

8(1)-5

8-5

Points U, M, And D are collinear with U between U and D.
zheka24 [161]

The value of x from the given equation is 5/3

<h3>How to determine the value</h3>

Since the three points are collinear to U, they are on a straight line which equals 0

Then we have,

UM + UD =  MD

5x+30 + 10x+20 = 3x+80

Collect like terms

5x + 10x + 50 = 3x + 80

15x - 3x = 80 - 50

12x = 30

x = 30/12 = 15/6 = 5/3

Thus, the value of x from the given equation is 5/3

Given the trinomial 2x2 − 5x + 3, what is the value of the Discriminant and what can be said about the solutions.
valina [46]
The formula to finding a discriminant would be b^2-4ac, the b value of this trinomial being -5, the a value being 2, the c value being 3. Then, you plug the values in the equation and solve: (-5)^2-4(2)(3)
This would simplify to 1, meaning there are two solutions since the discriminant value is positive. If it is 0, there is one solution, if it is negative, then there are no real solutions.

Charlie reads quickly . He reads 1and3/7 pages every 2/3 minutes.How many pages does he read pre minute?
SVETLANKA909090 [29]
Hello there!

First, we need to admit that math is a hard subject. So, how do we handle hard stuff? We find an easy way. Right?

Well same goes here. They give the fractions to drive us crazy. Let's find the easiest way...

The easiest way is to turn them into decimals.
1 3/7 = 1.42 which is the amount of pages he reads
2/3 = 0.67 minute.

The are asking us how many pages does he reads per minute.

So we gonna say:
Charlie reads 1.42 pages ......> 0.67
Charlie reads x pages.............> 1minute

Cross multiply

0.67 * x = 1 * 1.42
0.67x = 1.42
x = 1.42/0.67
x = 2.11

So, Charlie reads 2.11 pages in 1 minute.


I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have questions about the answer.

Thanks!
