Question

What is h(-8) for h(x) = x²
2
-x² +7x?

Answer 1

8

Explanation:

Re-write the equation:

h(x) = x² * 2 - x² -7x

If X is equal to -8, then we can re-write the equation as:
h(-8) = (-8)² * 2 - (-8)² - 7(-8)

Following P.E.M.D.A.S. we must first solve for the exponents:

h(-8) = (64) * 2 - (64) - 7(-8)

Then we need to solve the multiplication.

h(-8) = (128) - (64) - (-56)

Now, we solve for the addition/subraction.

h(-8) = (128) - (120)

Lastly...

128 - 120 = 8

This means that if h(-8), then H = 8
