 :  Hi, i tried solving my assignments, please help me check if i did it right..Thanks in advance...
 
 1	Find the indicated function values:
 f(x) =3x^2  + 4x - 2
 a) f(0)                 d) f(b)
 b) f(3)                 e) f(5a)
 c) f(-5)
 
 Solution:
 a) f(0) = 3(0)^2 + 4(0) - 2
 = - 2
 b) f(3) = 3(3)^2 + 4(3) - 2
 = 27 + 12 - 2
 = 37
 c) f(-5) = 3(-5)^2 + 4(-5) - 2
 = 75 -20 - 2
 = 53
 d) f(b) = 3(b)^2 + 4(b) - 2
 = 3b^2 + 4b - 2
 e) f(5a) = 3(5a)^2 + 4(5a) - 2
 = 75a^2 + 20a - 2
 2	For f(x)= x^2 + 4x  and g(x) = 2 - x
 Find the following:
 (f-g)(x) and (f-g)(6)
 
 Solution:
 (f-g) (x) = f(x) - g(x)
 = ( x^2 + 4x ) - (2-x)
 = x^2 + 4x  - 2 + x
 = x^2 + 5x  - 2
 
 Using (f-g)(x) = x^2 + 5x  - 2
 (f-g)(6) = (6)^2 + 5(6) -2
 = 36 + 30 - 2
 = 64
 3	Find an equation of each line.Write the equation using function notation.Through (-4,8); perpendicular to 2x-3y = 1
 Solution:
 y = mx + b
 3y = 2x - 1
 y= (2x-1)/3
 
 y = (2/3)x-3
 
 
 y - y1 = m (x - x1)
 (y-8) = 3/2 (x - (-4))
 2(y-8) = 3(x+4)
 2y - 16 = 3x + 12
 2y = 3x + 28
 y = (3x + 28)/2
 f(x) = 3/2 x + 14

You can put this solution on YOUR website! 3 Find an equation of each line.Write the equation using function notation.Through (-4,8); perpendicular to 2x-3y = 1 Solution:
 y = mx + b
 3y = 2x - 1
 y= (2x-1)/3
 y = (2/3)x-3
 
 y - y1 = m (x - x1)
 (y-8) = 3/2 (x - (-4))
 2(y-8) = 3(x+4)
 2y - 16 = 3x + 12
 2y = 3x + 28
 y = (3x + 28)/2
 f(x) = 3/2 x + 14
 -----------------
 The slope should be the negative inverse, -3/2 for perpendicular.
