Certainly! Let's go through each calculation step by step to help you understand.
For x = -1:
We substitute -1 into the function F: W = x√(-x) - 2
F(-1) = (-1)√(-(-1)) - 2
Since -(-1) is equal to 1, we have:
F(-1) = (-1)√1 - 2
The square root of 1 is 1, so we get:
F(-1) = (-1)(1) - 2
Multiplying -1 by 1 gives us -1, so we have:
F(-1) = -1 - 2
Adding -1 to -2 gives us -3:
F(-1) = -3
For x = 0:
We substitute 0 into the function F: W = x√(-x) - 2
F(0) = (0)√(-(0)) - 2
Since -(0) is equal to 0, we have:
F(0) = (0)√0 - 2
The square root of 0 is 0, so we get:
F(0) = (0)(0) - 2
Multiplying 0 by 0 gives us 0, so we have:
F(0) = 0 - 2
Subtracting 2 from 0 gives us -2:
F(0) = -2
For x = 2:
We substitute 2 into the function F: W = x√(-x) - 2
F(2) = (2)√(-(2)) - 2
Since -(2) is equal to -2, we have:
F(2) = (2)√(-2) - 2
The square root of -2 is an irrational number (√(-2)), and it cannot be simplified further. So, we keep it as is as:
F(2) = (2)(√2) - 2
For x = 5:
We substitute 5 into the function F: W = x√(-x) - 2
F(5) = (5)√(-(5)) - 2
Since -(5) is equal to -5, we have:
F(5) = (5)√(-5) - 2
The square root of -5 is an irrational number (√(-5)), and it cannot be simplified further. So, we keep it as is as:
F(5) = (5)(√5) - 2
For x = 11:
We substitute 11 into the function F: W = x√(-x) - 2
F(11) = (11)√(-(11)) - 2
Since -(11) is equal to -11, we have:
F(11) = (11)√(-11) - 2
The square root of -11 is an irrational number (√(-11)), and it cannot be simplified further. So, we keep it as is as:
F(11) = (11)(√11) - 2
I hope this detailed explanation helps you understand how to calculate the function for each element in the set. Good luck with your test!
