Answer:
f(3) = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 2x^2 – 5x
Let x = 3
f(3) = 2(3)^2 - 5(3)
= 2*9 -15
= 18-15
=3
You must add 6 to complete the square.
x^2+12x+(6)=-5(6)
Answer:
x+4
Step-by-step explanation:
What I like to do in these types of problems is to separate the terms with a variable and those without.
So move +4 to the very end of the problem to make it look like this:
6x-3x-2x+4
Now simply subtract! After subtracting the first two terms (6x and -3x) it should look like this:
3x-2x+4
Then subtract once more (3x-2x)!
x+4
This cannot be simplified anymore so x+4 should be your final answer!
