PLEASE HELP I WILL FAN AND MEDAL AND BE YOUR BEST FRIEND The radius of a circle is 28 centimeters. What is the diameter of the circle? A. 14 centimeters B. 28 centimeters C. 56 centimeters D. 66 centimeters
Simply put, the formula for the diameter of a circle is "d=2(r)", where r is the radius. So, just put in what you know.
is it C? @noseboy908
That would be correct!
thank you so much! could you help me with some more? @noseboy908
Sure, just put them here and I shall do my best.
If f(x) = 0.5(1 – x), what is the value of f(–1)? A. 2.5 B. 1 C. 0.5 D. 0
@noseboy908
I'm here, please don't keep mentioning me with the @ sign.
Now, as to the problem, the most important thing to grasp here is the fact that when they give you that f(x) is equal to something, all you have to do is substitute in what they tell you x is. You can tell what x is by what they put in the parenthesis next to the f. (Because you're mere substituting it for x in "f(x)".)
so x = 0.5 ?
I'm afraid not. Let's work this one out together, step by step. firstly, what did you substitute in for x?
idk
Look at what I previously said. I said that you get what you plug in for x by looking at what is put in place of the x in "f(x)" in the given information part.
so -1?
Correct! Now please plug that in for x in "f(x)=.5(1-x)".
f(-1)=.5(1- -1) idk how id do that last part is any of that even right?
Yeah, you're completely right up to this point. The rule you need here is this (And I'd highly suggest memorizing it): "Subtracting a negative number is like adding a positive one."
so what do i do next then? using what you just said of course
Try to simplify the contents of the parentheses. Tell me what you get.
Keep in mind the rule I just mentioned.
