Find the output of the function y=−3x−7
when the input is −5
. (1 point)
The correct output is

To find the output of the function \( y = -3x - 7 \) when the input is \( x = -5 \), substitute \(-5\) for \(x\):

\[ y = -3(-5) - 7 \]

Now, calculate:

\[ y = 15 - 7 \] \[ y = 8 \]

The correct output is 8.

Find the value of the function y=3x2−21
when x=4
.(1 point)
y=

.

To find the value of the function \( y = 3x^2 - 21 \) when \( x = 4 \), substitute \( 4 \) for \( x \):

\[ y = 3(4^2) - 21 \]

Now calculate \( 4^2 \):

\[ 4^2 = 16 \]

Now substitute back into the equation:

\[ y = 3(16) - 21 \]

Calculate \( 3(16) \):

\[ 3 \times 16 = 48 \]

Now perform the subtraction:

\[ y = 48 - 21 \] \[ y = 27 \]

Thus, \( y = 27 \).
