Answer: Maria payed $58.00 for her jacket BEFORE tax.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the answer to this question, we must first multiply 72.50 by 0.20. After doing so, we get 14.5 (this is the sale money). Finally, we subtract $72.50-14.5 to get out answer, 58 dollars.
It would be replaced with f(-2) which is the reciperacle of 2x
Answer:
y=-2x^2-4
Step-by-step explanation:
The parabola is wider than it's parent function, y = x^2. Therefore the coefficient, of x^2 (when you refer to quadratic equations it's a) should be greater than 1. Let's take 2.
y = 2x^2
Now it is reflected across the x-axis, so the equation turns to y = -2x^2. The vertex is shifted down 4. Note that it is shifted down, along the y-axis. This makes 'c' (again quadratic equations) -4.
Final Equation: y=-2x^2-4

<u>Errors in Algebraic Operations
</u>
It's usual that students make mistakes when misunderstanding the application of algebra's basic rules. Here we have two of them
- When we change the signs of all the terms of a polynomial, the expression must be preceded by a negative sign
- When multiplying negative and positive quantities, if the number of negatives is odd, the result is negative. If the number of negatives is even, the result is positive.
- Not to confuse product of fractions with the sum of fractions. Rules are quite different
The first expression is

Let's arrange into format:

We can clearly see in all of the factors in the expression the signs were changed correctly, but the result should have been preceeded with a negative sign, because it makes 3 (odd number) negatives, resulting in a negative expression. The correct form is

Now for the second expression

Let's arrange into format

It's a clear mistake because it was asssumed a product of fractions instead of a SUM of fractions. If the result was correct, then the expression should have been
