The answer is 7
f(x) = -4x - 1
f(-2) = ?
Since f(x) = f(-2), then x = -2. Now just substitute x in the function:
f(-2) = (-4) * (-2) - 1
f(-2) = 8 - 1
f(-2) = 7
Answer:Dilation involves changing the size of a shape.
The true statement is that the locations of E' and F' are E' (−12, 0) and F' (0, 6), and lines g and g' are parallel.
The given parameters are:
--- the scale factor
Multiply the coordinates of point E and F by the scale factor (k), to determine the new coordinates of E and F.
Given that line g is represented by points E and F; line g' would be represented by points E' and F'
So, both lines would be parallel.
Hence, the true option is (d)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
"a certain whole number" is a number that we don't know, so pick a variable, let's use n
"Twice" means two times, so we'll use 2n for this.
"subtracted from" means the 2n will be AFTER the minus sign.
____ - 2n
What goes in front? "3 times the square of the number" 3n^2
Now we have 3n^2 - 2n
Lastly, we see the result is 133. So this gives us:
3n^2 - 2n = 133 To solve, subtract 133 from both sides of the equation.
3n^2 -2n - 133 = 0 Next FACTOR.
(3n + 19)(n - 7) = 0
3n+19=0 and n-7=0
n=-19/3 and n=7
Since we are looking for a whole number choose n=7
