Answer:


\displaystyle (1)/(3) h(-8) = 37

Explanation:

Hi there!


h(x) = x^2-5x + 7

First, find h(-8) by replacing all of
x with -8:


h(-8) = (-8)^2-5(-8) + 7\\h(-8) = 64+40 + 7\\h(-8) = 111

Now, find ⅓ h(-8) by multiplying the entire expression by ⅓:


\displaystyle (1)/(3) h(-8) = 111 * (1)/(3) \\\\\displaystyle (1)/(3) h(-8) = 37

I hope this helps!
