Answer:

f(2) = -40

Step-by-step explanation:

Just substitute x=2 into the function:

f(x) = 2x³ - 3x² - 18x - 8

f(2) = 2(2)³ - 3(2)² - 18(2) - 8

f(2) = 2(8) - 3(4) - 36 - 8

f(2) = 16 - 12 - 44

f(2) = 4 - 44

f(2) = -40

What is the vertex of this parabola? y= 2x² + 4x +5

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

vertex = (- 1, 3 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a parabola in standard form

y = ax² + bx + c ( a ≠ 0 )

Then the x- coordinate of the vertex is

$x_{vertex}$ = - $\frac{b}{2a}$

y = 2x² + 4x + 5 ← is in standard form

with a = 2, b = 4, then

$x_{vertex}$ = - $\frac{4}{4}$ = - 1

Substitute x = - 1 into the equation for corresponding value of y, that is

y = 2(- 1)² + 4(- 1) + 5 = 2 - 4 + 5 = 3

vertex = (- 1, 3 )

ace car rental rents cars for x dollars per day plus y dollars for each mile driven carlos renteda car for a 4 days drove 100 mi

Yuliya22 [10]

$T=xd+ym\\x(4)+y(100)=(120)\\x(1)+y(240)=(80)\\\\4x+960y=320\\4x+100y=120\\860y=200\\y=\frac{200}{860}\\y=\frac{10}{43}\\\\x+240(\frac{10}{43})=80\\x+\frac{2400}{43}=\frac{3440}{43}\\x=\frac{1040}{43}$

x = 1040/43 = $24.19 per day.

y = 10/43 = $0.23 per mile.

A person sold 100 shares of a stock at a loss of 40%. If the selling price for the 100 shares was $3,000, which of the following

Kisachek [45]

A person sold 100 shares of a stock at a loss of 40%.

selling price for the 100 shares was $3,000

Let the stock was bought at $x then we can write

$x-\frac{40x}{100}=3000\\ \\ \frac{100x-40x}{100}=3000\\ \\ \ \frac{60x}{100}=3000\\ \\ \ 60x= 3000*100\\ \\ x=\frac{3000*100}{60} \\ \\ \ x=5*100=5000\\$

Hence Amount paid for the Stock was $5000
