15. would be 1/2 because if you simplify 16/32 to 8/16 (dividing by 2 each time), then to 4/8, then 2/4, and lastly 1/2
you really dont need to do all of that because 16/32 is already 1/2 (16 is half of
32)
16. the answer would be 7/12 because if you divide 21/36 both by 3 you get 7/12 and you cant go any more simpler.
Answer:
X=4
Step-by-step explanation:
Figure B is .8 times the size of Figure A, so to find the value of x you would take the scale factor and multiply it by 5 in this case.
answer: x = 1/2
<u>explanation</u>
subtract 3x from both sides
4x+8=10
subtract 8 from both sides
4x=2
divide both sides by 4
x=2/4
simplify
x=1/2 OR x=.5
hope i helped!
Complete the square:
F(x) = -3x² - 6x - 5
F(x) = -3 (x² + 2x) - 5
F(x) = -3 (x² + 2x + 1 - 1) - 5
F(x) = -3 ((x + 1)² - 1) - 5
F(x) = -3 (x + 1)² + 3 - 5
F(x) = -3 (x + 1)² - 2
The y-intercept has x-coordinate equal to 0, so it corresponds to the value of F(0) :
F(0) = -3 (0 + 1)² - 2 = -3 - 2 = -5
The axis of symmetry is the vertical line running through the vertex of this parabola, so we'll come back to this.
The vertex of the parabola is (-1, -2). This represents the maximum value of F(x), which follows from
(x + 1)² ≥ 0 ⇒ -3 (x + 1)² ≤ 0 ⇒ -3 (x + 1)² - 2 ≤ -2
This is to say, every point on the parabola has a y-coordinate no greater than -2.
As mentioned earlier, the axis of symmetry is the vertical line through the vertex, and its equation is determined by the x-coordinate of the vertex. Hence the AoS is the line x = -1.
