a) g(2) = -4
b) g(-4) = -22
=====================================
Work Shown:
For part a, we replace every x with 2 and simplify
g(x) = -x^2 + x - 2
g(x) = -(x)^2 + x - 2
g(2) = -(2)^2 + 2 - 2
g(2) = -4 + 2 - 2
g(2) = -2 - 2
g(2) = -4
--------------
Part b is the same story, but with a different input this time
g(x) = -x^2 + x - 2
g(x) = -(x)^2 + x - 2
g(-4) = -(-4)^2 + (-4) - 2
g(-4) = -16 - 4 - 2
g(-4) = -20 - 2
g(-4) = -22
2, 3, 5. I just solved them and they look equivalent.
Use Photomath it works well
Answer: Melinda’s loan will be equal to the value of the car after 10 months.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, to answer this question we have to equal both equations:
Melinda’s loan will be equal to the value of the car
y = y
10,000 – 250x = 8,000 – 50x
Solving for x:
10,000-8,000 = -50x+250x
2,000 = 200x
2,000/200 =x
10 = x
Melinda’s loan will be equal to the value of the car after 10 months.
