Answer: The first day the author reaches 100 days is on day 16.
To solve this problem, you could use a graphing calculator to graph the given equation. Then, determine when this line crosses 100. It crosses when x = 15.539. Therefore, we would have to round up to 16 so it is at least 100.
You could use the quadratic equation to solve: 100 = x^2 -12x + 45
Either you will get 16. If you use the quadratic formula, make sure to only use the positive answer.
18 + m/4 = 24
Subtract 18 from each side:
m/4 = 6
Multiply each side by 4 :
<em>m = 24 </em>
48/75 = 0,64 and they want a percentage so 64%
For f(-2), x will equal -2.
Plug the x-value into the equation:

A negative exponent means that the term turns into a fraction, with 1 as the numerator and the positive exponent as the denominator.
Solve 2^(-2):

Solve the problem:

f(-2) will equal
1/2.
