Evaluate each expression using the values
a=7 and b=4

1) 14+a
2) ab
3) 5b-a

1) 21

2) 28

3) 13

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the word problem, a=7 and b=4.

Now, we just plug in the numbers.

14 + 7 = 21

7 ⋅ 4 = 28

5 ⋅ 4 - 7 = 13

ANYTIME YOU SEE TWO VARIABLES (LETTERS) TOGETHER, THAT MEANS MULTIPLY THEM.

AN EXAMPLE OF THIS IS NUMBER 2.

if the eqn of the parabola is f(x) = (x-4)(x+2), we need to mult. this out to find the coordinates of the vertex.

then f(x) = x^2 + 2x - 4x - 8, and f(x) = x^2 - 2x - 8.

one way in which you can find the vertex is to calculate x = -b / (2a).   here, that comes to

        )

x = = 1.   f(1) = 1^2 - 2(1) - 8 = - 9.   vertex is at (1, -9).

        2(1) 

find another point on the curve:   let x=0, for which y=-8.   then (0, -8) is on the curve.   plot the vertex and this point and draw a smooth parabola thru both.

hope this
