Q. If f(x)=6xx2+7, what is the value of f(−7), to the nearest thousandth (if necessary)?Answer:
Substitute x with −7: To find the value of f(−7), we need to substitute x with −7 in the function f(x)=6xx2+7.
Calculate the numerator: Substitute x with −7: f(−7)=((−7)2+7)/(6⋅−7).
Calculate the denominator: Calculate the numerator: (−7)2+7=49+7=56.
Divide numerator by denominator: Calculate the denominator: 6×−7=−42.
Simplify the fraction: Now, divide the numerator by the denominator: −4256.
Convert fraction to decimal: Simplify the fraction: −4256=−34.
Round to nearest thousandth: Convert the fraction to a decimal: −34≈−1.333.
Round to nearest thousandth: Convert the fraction to a decimal: −34≈−1.333. Round the decimal to the nearest thousandth: −1.333 (it is already to the nearest thousandth).
