Question

Find the value of this expression if X=-7

Answer 1

Answer:

$-9$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{x^2+5}{x+1}$

If $x=-7$ then:

$\frac{-7^2+5}{-7+1} =\\\\\frac{49+5}{-6} =\\\\\frac{54}{-6} =\\\\-9$

The expression equals $-9$ if $x=-7$

Answer 2

Answer:

-9

Step-by-step explanation:

$(-7)^{2}$ = 49

when you have a negative number to any power make sure you plug it in correctly into the calculator.

$\frac{49+5}{-7+1}$  = $\frac{54}{-6}$

54÷-6= -9
