Math Problem Statement

onsider the following relation.

−3x^2−6x=−3x+2y−3x2−6x=−3x+2y

Step 2 of 3 :  

Evaluate the function found in the previous step at x=−2x=−2.

Solution

It seems the relation you provided has been repeated, and we need to clarify a bit. It looks like the original relation is:

3x26x=3x+2y-3x^2 - 6x = -3x + 2y

Step 1: Solve for yy in terms of xx

  1. Start by simplifying and isolating yy: 3x26x=3x+2y-3x^2 - 6x = -3x + 2y

  2. Add 3x3x to both sides to remove it from the right: 3x23x=2y-3x^2 - 3x = 2y

  3. Now, divide both sides by 22 to isolate yy: y=3x23x2y = \frac{-3x^2 - 3x}{2} y=32x232xy = -\frac{3}{2}x^2 - \frac{3}{2}x

Step 2: Substitute x=2x = -2 and evaluate yy

Now that we have yy as a function of xx: y=32x232xy = -\frac{3}{2}x^2 - \frac{3}{2}x

Substitute x=2x = -2: y=32(2)232(2)y = -\frac{3}{2}(-2)^2 - \frac{3}{2}(-2)

Calculate each term:

  1. (2)2=4(-2)^2 = 4
  2. 324=6-\frac{3}{2} \cdot 4 = -6
  3. 32(2)=3-\frac{3}{2} \cdot (-2) = 3

So, y=6+3=3y = -6 + 3 = -3

Final Answer

When x=2x = -2, y=3y = -3.
