Answer: x=1
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to open up the parenthesis so you multiply every term inside the parenthesis by -7.
1. -7x + 14 + 1 = 15 -7x
2. Combine like terms -7x + 15 = 15-7x
The two sides of the equation are the same so that means that x=1
Put the equation given in the form

The center will be (-f, -g)
You can locate<span> any </span>point on the coordinate plane<span> using an ordered pair of numbers.
e.i. (4,2) will be 4 units to the right and 2 units up on the coordinate plane.</span>
To find the inverse of this function, we first need to replace f(x) with y.
y = 2x^2 + 3
Now, we swap x and y
x = 2y^2 + 3
Now, we solve for y.
-3
x - 3 = 2y^2
Sqrt both sides.
√(x - 3) = 2y
Divide by 2
√(x - 3)/2 = y
Replace y with f^-1(x)
√(x - 3)/2 = f^-1(x)
Just realized you were asking for f(-1), not f^-1(x)
Feels bad.
f(-1) = 2(-1^2 + 3)
f(-1) = 2(-1^5)
f(-1) = 2(-1)
<u>f(-1) = -2</u>
I'm leaving the original answer in case you also need the inverse function. :)
