Step-by-step explanation:
f(-3) would be 36.
When looking at synthetic division, the numbers across the top represent the coefficients of x^2, x and the constant in that order. Therefore, the equation is as follows.
2x^2 - 5x + 3
Now we can put -3 into the equation and solve.
2(-3)^2 - 5(-3) + 3
2(9) + 15 + 3
18 + 15 + 3
36
320 has the same value as 32 tens
8.454 is 3 tenths more than 8.154
3.625 is 2 and 2 tenths more than 1.425
Place values after the decimal point are tenths, hundredths, thousandths, ten thousandths...so on.
So 3 tenths looks like this 0.30 ⇒ 3 is in the tenths place. When you say 3 tenths more, it is a clue that the operation to be done is addition. thus,
8.154
<u>+ 0.30
</u> 8.454 * in addition or subtraction, the decimal points must be aligned to avoid confusion.
2 and 2 tenths is like this 2.20 ⇒ 1st 2 is in the ones or units place and the 2nd 2 is in the tenths place. Again it states more than so addition must be done.
1.425
<u>+ 2.20</u>
3.625
<u>
</u>
