Noelle used synthetic division to evaluate a function f(x) at 3, as shown

-3 3 4 -2
-9 15
=3 -5 13

what is the value of f(3)?
a) 3

b) 2

c) 13

d) 15

Given the function f(x) = 3x + 1, evaluate f(a + 1). a. 3a + 1 b. a + 2 c. 3a + 4

Suppose there is a simple index of three stocks, stock abc, stock xyz, and stock qrs. stock abc opens on day 1 with 4000 shares at $3.15 per share. stock xyz opens on day 1 with 5000 shares at $4.30 per share. stock qrs opens on day 1 with 6000 shares at $4.60 per share. the price of stock abc on day 8 begins at $3.50. the price of stock xyz on day 8 begins at $3.90. stock qrs opens on day 8 with a price of $4.50 per share. assume that each stock has the same number of shares that it opened with on day 1. what is the rate of change of this simple index over 1 week?
