Answer:

(a) -7, (b) 2

Step-by-step explanation:

a) When x = 0,

=> x² - 8x - 7

=> (0)² - 8(0) - 7

=> 0 - 0 - 7

=> - 7

b) When x = -1,

=> x² - 8x - 7

=> (-1)² - 8(-1) - 7

=> 1 + 8 - 7

=> 9 - 7

=> 2

Hope it helps.

ra1l [238]

Answer:

f(x) = $x^{3} - x^{2} - 10x -8$

Step-by-step explanation:

All you have to do is multiply (x + 1)(x + 2)(x - 4)

You should get $x^{3} - x^{2} - 10x -8$

So, f(x) = $x^{3} - x^{2} - 10x -8$

PLSSS HELP IM DESPERATE!!

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

graph c

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

| - 2x | = 4

The absolute value function always gives a positive result, however, the expression inside can be positive or negative , that is

- 2x = 4 or - (- 2x) = 4

Solving both

- 2x = 4 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

x = - 2

- (- 2x) = 4

2x = 4 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 2

The third graph indicates x = - 2 and x = 2 on the number line
