Evaluate the function at the indicated value, using the technique indicated. 9. find w(-3) using synthetic substitution: w(x)=11x^3-6x^2+2 10. find m(5) using direct substitution: m(x)=x^2+x-1

Answers:  -349, 31

Step-by-step explanation:

9) find w(-3) for 11x³ - 6x² (+0x) + 2

-3 |   11        -6        0            2

   |    ↓      -33       117      -351

       11      -39       117     -349

10) find m(5) for m(x) = x² + x + 1

m(5) = (5)² + (5) + 1

       =  25  + 5   + 1

       =  31

answer: bea's uncle is 25 years old.

step-by-step explanation:

given the equation , we can say that the variable "x" represents the age of bea's uncle. then to find his age, we need to solve for "x":

we must add 15 to both sides of the equation:

now we need to divide both sides of the equation by 3:

therefore, we can conclude that bea's uncle is 25 years old.
