independent variable is x.
So you have to plug in 2 for x, and find the y.

then your pair is going to be
(2,  "this result for y")

anonymous · Answer

But which (2, "insert y") is it? :(

solomonzelman · Answer

your place where you wrote "insert y" you should put the result for y, that you get after plugging 2 instead of x.

anonymous · Answer

I understand, but what is y?

solomonzelman · Answer

y and f(x) is the same exact thing

solomonzelman · Answer

so you need to find f(2)/

solomonzelman · Answer

(that is in other words)

anonymous · Answer

Yeah, but is it -64 or -52? :')

solomonzelman · Answer

wait, your f(x)=-6x³-4x² should say? right?
(you left after 6 out)

solomonzelman · Answer

you left x after 6 out.

solomonzelman · Answer

f(2)=-6(2)³-4(2)² = ?

solomonzelman · Answer

or is your f(x) the way it is now?

anonymous · Answer

I'm asking if the answer is B or C?

solomonzelman · Answer

i am not completely sure about what your f(x) is, can you re-write it for me pliz?
