PLEASE HELP ME! How do I test each answer? I tried two different ways.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (amistre64):

what is the value of the function when x= 2 ? x=14 ? x= 7 ? x=-1 ?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

or, it may give you the range and so we are trying to match what x value gets us to that range value

OpenStudy (amistre64):

f(14) = 223, so im pretty sure its the second idea 14 = some value of x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So I should try plugging in those numbers, Whatever comes up I drag it to?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I tried doing 14=2^2+2(2)-1 and so on but none of them equaled 14...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh wait 3 works huh...

OpenStudy (amistre64):

f(x)+1 = x^2 + 2x f(x)+1 = x(x+2) ----------------- 3 = x(x+2) , 1*3 15 = x(x+2), 3*5 8 = x(x+2), 2*4 0 = x(x+2), 0*2

OpenStudy (amistre64):

0 = -2*0 as well so we shouldnt fret over that one lol

OpenStudy (amistre64):

-3(-1) = 3 as well .... so its more of an art for this approach

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I must be doing something wrong here, I'm trying this. 2=2^2+2(-2)-1 WRONG 2=-2^2+2(2)-1 WRONG 2=-3^2+2(-3)-1 WRONG

OpenStudy (amistre64):

your taking the long way about ....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't mind the long way, I find it more simple. But its not even working

OpenStudy (amistre64):

x(x+2) - 1 2 4 8 -1 = 7 x(x+2) - 1 -2 0 0 -1 = -1 x(x+2) - 1 3 5 15 -1 = 14 x(x+2) - 1 -3 -1 3 -1 = 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Where are you getting the numbers below the equation

OpenStudy (amistre64):

x^2 + 2x - 1 2 2 4 + 4 - 1 = 7 x^2 + 2x - 1 -2 -2 4 - 4 - 1 = -1

OpenStudy (amistre64):

im inserting a domain value, and defining the term as a number

OpenStudy (amistre64):

x^2 + 2x - 1 3 3 9 +6 -1 = 14 x^2 + 2x - 1 -3 -3 9 -6 - 1 = 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I still don't see nor get how youre going about on matches the two numbers up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do it easier, even if it is longer.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i did it short ways and long way, we are trying to match up x = 2, -2, 3, -3 f(x) = 2, 14, 7, -1 which value of x gets us the corresponding f(x) value?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do I plug in where to test if its right

OpenStudy (amistre64):

x^2 + 2x - 1 let x = 2 2 2 define the terms 4 +4 - 1 what does the equal? 7 when x=2, f(2) = 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so -2=-1..?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

x^2 + 2x - 1 let x = -2 -2 -2 define the terms 4 -4 - 1 what does the equal? -1 when x=-2, f(-2) = -1 yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Am I right with them all?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

you should be able to determine if they are right or not, its just arithmetic.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x^2 + 2x - 1 let x = 2 2 2 define the terms 4 +4 - 1 what does the equal? 7 when x=2, f(2) = 7 I got that (:

OpenStudy (amistre64):

weve covered them all, id say you ordered them correctly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah I just double checked! Thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The range of the function f(x) = x + 5 is {7, 9}. What is the function’s domain? {2, 4} {-2, -4} {12, 14} {-12, -14} {0, 5}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Same concept, but does f(x)= 7 & 9 or the answers? @amistre64

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7&9 right?
