Math Problem Statement

Evaluate the function found in the previous step at x = 2 using the relation -2x^2 + 2x + 3y = -3y.

Solution

Let's break down the problem in the image step by step.

We are given the relation: 2x2+2x+3y=3y-2x^2 + 2x + 3y = -3y

Our goal is to evaluate the function found in the previous step at x=2x = 2.

Step 1: Solve for yy

We need to first rearrange the given relation to express yy as a function of xx. Start by simplifying the equation: 2x2+2x+3y=3y-2x^2 + 2x + 3y = -3y

Add 3y3y to both sides: 2x2+2x+3y+3y=0-2x^2 + 2x + 3y + 3y = 0 2x2+2x+6y=0-2x^2 + 2x + 6y = 0

Now, solve for yy: 6y=2x22x6y = 2x^2 - 2x y=2x22x6y = \frac{2x^2 - 2x}{6} y=x2x3y = \frac{x^2 - x}{3}

Thus, the function we have is: y=x2x3y = \frac{x^2 - x}{3}

Step 2: Evaluate yy at x=2x = 2

Substitute x=2x = 2 into the function: y(2)=2223=423=23y(2) = \frac{2^2 - 2}{3} = \frac{4 - 2}{3} = \frac{2}{3}

Thus, f(2)=23f(2) = \frac{2}{3}.

Final Answer:

f(2)=23f(2) = \frac{2}{3}

Would you like further details or have any questions on this?

Here are five related questions to deepen your understanding:

  1. How would the function change if we added a constant to both sides of the equation?
  2. What happens if you evaluate the function at a negative xx value?
  3. Can you derive an alternative form of the function if the original equation had a different coefficient for yy?
  4. How does the degree of the polynomial affect the shape of the function graph?
  5. What would the result be for other values of xx, like x=0x = 0 or x=1x = -1?

Tip: Always simplify the equation step-by-step when solving for a variable to avoid mistakes with coefficients.
