Answer:
The value of f(x) when x=-1 is 0.5
Therefore 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that y=f(x)=
to find the f(x) when x=-1 :
That is to find f(-1)
Put x=-1 in the given function f(x)=
Therefore
The value of f(x) when x=-1 is 0.5
3 = 3/4(b - 8)
Switch sides
3/4(b - 8) = 3
Next, multiply both sides by 4
4 * 3/4(b - 8) = 3 * 4
Then simplify,
3(b - 8) = 12
Next, divide both sides by 3
3(b - 8)/3 = 12/3
Then, simplify
b - 8 = 4
Then, add 8 to both sides
b - 8 + 8 = 4 + 8
Simplify, b = 12
The answer: 7 * 1,829 = " 12,803 " .
______________
<span>The following is the explanation—"in expanded form" — (as per the specfic instructions— within this very question—as to how to get the answer:
</span>____________________
Given: 7 * 1,829 = ? ; Find the solution; using "expanded form" :
____________
(7 * 9 = 63 ) ; +
(7 *20 = 140) ; +
(7 * 800 = 5,600) ; +
___________________________________________
(7 * 1,000 = 7,000) ;
___________________________________________
Now, add the the values together to solve the problem:
___________________________________________
→ 7 * 1,829 = 63 + 140 + 5,600 + 7,000 ;
{ = 203 + 5,600 + 7,000 } ;
{ = 5,803 + 7,000 } ;
= 12,803 ; which is the answer.
________________________________________________
Alternately, write out the steps as follows—using "expanded form":
________________________________________________
→ 7 * 1,829 = ?
________________________________________________
→ 7 * 1,829 = (7*9) + (7*20) + (7*800) + (1,000) ;
________________________________________________
→ 7 * 1,829 = 63 + 140 + 5,600 + 1,000 ;
{ = 203 + 5,600 + 7,000 } ;
{ = 5,803 + 7,000 } ;
= 12,803 ; which is the answer.
____
→ {Now, is our obtained answer: "12,803" ; the "correct answer"—to the problem: " 7 * 1,829 " ;} ??
→ Let us check: {Note: " 7 * 1,829 " ; is the same as: ↔ " 1,829 * 7 " .}.
→ Using a calculator, does: "7 * 1829 = ? 12,803" ?? ; Yes! ;
→ &, for that matter; does: " 1829 * 7 =? 12,803" ?? ; Yes! .
_______
Furthermore, let us check, using the "traditional format" ;
→ Does: "1,829 * 7 =? 12,803 ?? " ;
________
{NB: We are multiplying 2 (TWO) numbers together; & 1 (ONE) of these 2 [TWO] numbers is a "1-digit" ["single-digit"] number; & the "OTHER" multiplicand is a "multiple-digit" [specifically, a"4-digit"] number.}.
______
NB: Yes; using a calculator is sufficient. Below, I simply provide an alternate method to confirm whether our "obtained value" is correct.
_____
→ Does: "7 * 1,289 = ? 12,803" ?? ;
→ Using the "traditional method"; let us check; as follows:
_____
₅ ₂ ₆
→ 1, 829
<span> <u> * 7 </u> </span>
12 8 03 ;
_____
So; does: "12,803 =? 12,803" ?? ; YES!
→ This "traditional method" shows that: "7 * 1,829" ; does, in fact, equal: "12,803".
_____
{NB: Explanation of the steps used in solving the aforementioned problem using the "traditional method"—just for clarification and confirmation} :
_____
→Start with: "7*9= 63" ; Write down the "3" & 'carry over' the "6" ; {Note the small-sized digit, "6"; written on top of the "2"; {commonly done—to keep track);
→Then; "7*2 = 14" ; then add the "small digit 6"; to the "14" ; →"14+6 =20" ;
Write down the "0" ; & 'carry over' the "2" ; {Note the "small-sized digit, "2"; written over the "8"; (commonly done—to keep track);
→ Then; "7*8 = 56" ; then add the "small digit 2"; to the "56"; → "56+2 = 58" ; Write down the "8" ; & 'carry over' the "5" ; {Note the "small-sized digit", "5" ; written over the "1" ; (commonly done—to keep track);
→Then; "7*1 = 7" ; then add the "small digit 5"; to the "7" ; → "7+5 = 12" ; Write down the "12" ; in its entirety—since are no digits left [in the multiplicand, "1,829"] ; to "carry over".
____
We get: "12,803" ; which =? "12,803" ?? ;→Yes!
____
I hope my explanation of how to solve "7 * 1,829" ; using the "expanded form" is helpful. Also, i hope my explanation—albeit lengthy— of confirming that [<em>our</em>] "correctly obtained value"—which is: "12,803"— is of some help.
