Question

The function f is defined by f left parenthesis x right parenthesis equals x to the power of 2 end exponent minus 7. What is the value of f(3) ?

  1. -16    
  2. -2    
  3. 2    
  4. 16    

The correct answer is: 2


    HINT: Get the functional value when x is 3.
    Complete step by step Solution
    Given, f left parenthesis x right parenthesis equals x to the power of 2 end exponent minus 7
    Functional value when x = 3 is,
    f left parenthesis 3 right parenthesis equals 3 to the power of 2 end exponent minus 7 equals 9 minus 7 equals 2
    So, f left parenthesis 3 right parenthesis equals 2
    Hence option C is the right answer.

    Two beach balls are each in the shape of a sphere. The larger beach ball has a diameter of 3x, and the smaller beach ball has a diameter of x. What is the ratio of the volume of the larger beach ball to volume of the smaller beach ball?

    volume of a sphere
    A sphere is a collection of points in space separated by r from the center. The quantity of space a solid in three dimensions takes up is known as its volume. The unit of volume is measured in cubic (in3, ft3, cm3, m3, et cetera). Before calculating the volume, ensure all measurements are in the same unit.
    Follow the steps below to determine the volume of a given sphere:
    Step 1: Compare the radius of the given sphere. If you know the diameter of the sphere, divide it by two to get the radius.
    Step 2: Find the radius of r'³s cube.
    Step 3: Now divide it by (4/3) π
    Step 4: The volume of the sphere will be the final answer.
    The volume V of a sphere is equal to four-thirds of pi times the cube of the radius.
    V = 4/3πr³
    A hemisphere's volume is equal to one-half that of its related sphere.
