imma go with my gut and say b :?
Answer:
f(-2) = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
f(x) = bx^2 + 32
f(2) = b(2)^2 + 32
f(2) = 4b + 32
f(2) = 4b = -32
f(2) = b = -32/4
f(2) = b = -8
Thus;
f(-2) = -8(-2)^2 + 32
f(-2) = -8(4) + 32
f(-2) = -32 + 32
f(-2) = 0
Answer: 7.5 items
Step-by-step explanation:
Both Karen and James had 30 stocking items.
Karen bought 35% of her items;
= 35% * 30
= 10.5 items
James has bought 60%;
= 60% * 30
= 18 items
= 18 - 10.5
= 7.5 items
Not sure why such an old question is showing up on my feed...
Anyway, let
and
. Then we want to find the exact value of
.
Use the angle difference identity:
and right away we find
. By the Pythagorean theorem, we also find
. (Actually, this could potentially be negative, but let's assume all angles are in the first quadrant for convenience.)
Meanwhile, if
, then (by Pythagorean theorem)
, so
. And from this,
.
So,
