Answer:
21
Step-by-step explanation:
PEDMAS
P - parentheses
E - exponent
D - division
M - multiplication
A - addition
S - subtraction
2 + 3 - 4 + (5 x 4)
P - parentheses.
(5 × 4) = 5 × 4 = 20
2 + 3 - 4 + 20
A - Addition and S - subtraction (left to right)
2 + 3 = 5
5 - 4 + 20
5 - 4 = 1
1 + 20 = 21
I believe that the answer to the question is "A"
I'm not good at math, but you should just try plugging and chugging.
The answer is -.06 ........................
Attached you will see the answer (use polynomial division)
1. horizontal shrink by factor of 2/3 means multiply outside the f(x) or outside the x^2 by 2/3:
(2/3)•f(x)
2. translation left 5 units means "x+5" inside:
(2/3) • f(x+5)
3. tranlate down 2 units means "-2" outside:
(2/3) • f(x+5) -2
or (2/3) (x+5)^2 - 2
or
