Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to get the meaning clear.

f(2) means that wherever you see an x on the right side of the equation, you put a 2.

f(2) means -2*(-2)^2 - 5

(-2)^2 = -2 * -2 = 4

f(2) = -2 * 4 - 5

f(2) = - 8 - 5

f(2) = -13

This is one way you could write out the steps

f(x) = -2x^2 - 5

f(2) = -2(2)^2 - 5

f(2) = -2(4) - 5

f(2) = -8 - 5

f(2) = -13

What is the area of the polygon ABCDE?

The answer is 73.5

To make it a lot easier split the shapes into a rectangle and triangle.
The rectangle is a tad easier because the measurements are given here.

5 x 12 = 60 (rectangle area)

To find the triangle find the base then height. The base is 3cm and the height is 9cm (shown above)

9 x 3 = 27
Divide that by 2 because it's a triangle and you get 13.5.

Add those two numbers and voila you have your answer of 73.5.
