Answer 1

yes?

Answer 2

do you mind helping me with my math

Answer 3

no

Answer 4

\[f(x)=-5x ^{5}-4x+2\]

Answer 5

what are you asked to do?

Answer 6

What is the resulting ordered pair if the value of the independent variable is –1?

Answer 7

-1

Answer 8

okay good job @((*-*))

Answer 9

Okay, the independent variable is the x, and the dependent variable is y. It depends on what x is , right?

Answer 10

So you are asked to find f(-1), basically.

Answer 11

yes

Answer 12

can you find f(-1).

Answer 13

no I can't

Answer 14

\[f(x)=-5x^2-4x+2\]
to find f(-2), for instance, you would plug in -2 for x, into the function. Like this:
\[f(-2)=-5(-2)^2-4(-2)+2\]\[f(-2)=-5(4)+8+2\]\[f(-2)=-20+8+2\]\[f(-2)=-10\]

Answer 15

Can you find f(-1) now? (just plug in -1 instead of x, into the function, f(x) .

Answer 16

ummm

Answer 17

I'll set you up.\[f(-1)=-5(-1)^2-4(-1)+2\]

Answer 18

continue....

Answer 19

yed continue
