Just take the function, and wherever it says 'x', substitute '-3' .
Then it'll say f(-3) = -2(-3)² - 7(-3) + 6 . Surely you can solve that.
As my old Electronic Circuits professor used to tell us, back around 1962:
"If
f(x) = -2x² - 7x + 6
then
f(cow) = -2cow² - 7cow + 6 ."
Of all the things I learned from him, this is the thing I remember most.
Answer:
49/4
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 + 7x = 4
Take the coefficient of x
7
Divide by 2
7/2
Square it
(7/2) ^2 = 49/4
Add this to each side
x^2 + 7x +49/4= 4+49/4
Answer:
x=1/2y+4
Step-by-step explanation:
325*89.1
Let's decompose this into:
325 = 300 + 25
89.1 = 80 + 9 + 0.1
Then we have the multiplication:
(300 + 25)*(80 + 9 + 0.1)
Let's distribute the multiplication:
300*80 + 300*9 + 300*0.1 + 25*80 + 25*9 + 25*0.1
So now we have 6 multiplications that are a lot easier to solve than the initial one that we had.
Then the list of six multiplications involved in solving this problem are:
300*80 = 24,400
300*9 = 2,700
300*0.1 = 30
25*80 = 2,000
25*9 = 225
25*0.1 = 2.5
Now we add all of those and get:
325*89.1 = 24,400 + 2,700 + 30 + 2,000 + 225 + 2.5 = 28,957.5
Let x=balloon swords
let x+4=balloon dogs (four more than x is x+4)
let x+7=balloon hats (three more than x+4 is x+7)
the answer is x+7
I don't know how to correctly explain the second answer (although I do know that it is 1)
