Evaluate the function,
f (x) = 5 - 4x for f(-2)

f(-2)=13

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the function:

f(x)= 5-4x

and asked to evaluate f(-2). We want to find what f(x) is when x is equal to -2.

We must substitute -2 in for each x.

f(-2)= 5 - 4(-2)

Solve according to PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction.

First, multiply 4 and -2.

⇒ 4 * -2 = -8

f(-2) = 5 - -8

Two negative signs in a row become a positive sign.

f(-2)= 5+8

Finally, add 5 and 8.

f(-2)= 13

The function f(x)= 5-4x evaluated for f(-2) is 13.

3. parallelogram

step-by-step explanation:

we turn each of our sides into direction vectors

ab=b-a=(3 - 7, 1 - 0) = (-4, 1)

bc=c-b=(1,6)

cd=d-c=(4,-1)

da=a-d=(-1,-6)

we see how the opposite sides have negated direction vectors; this is characteristic of a parallelogram.   we have congruent sides ab=cd and bc=da with unequal lengths because 1^2+6^2 is different from (-4)^2+1^2.   so it's not a square or a rhombus.  

we check the dot product of direction vectors of adjacent sides.   we have

ab dot bc = -4(1) + 1(6) = 2

that's not zero so the sides are not perpendicular.   we've ruled out rectangle.

the direction vectors indicate two pairs of congruent parallel sides, so we choose parallelogram over trapezoid.
