Answer:

Metaphor

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a comparison between the ocean and a magnet, but it did not use like or as, so it is a metaphor.

Answer: The correct answer is 3. metaphor.

Step-by-step explanation:

A hyperbole is an exagerration.

A simile is a comparison used with like or as.

How do you solve the following equation: 5-(2x-3)=-8+2x

kirza4 [7]

I believe it would be done like this:
subtract 2x-8 from both sides. then use cubric formula.
answer should be x= 1.688242

This is my question -- solve x^2+5x+6=0

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

x = -2,-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the equation by factorizing.

To factorize this equation, you have to find the two numbers that adds up to 5 and multiplies to 6.

This one is obvious, but for others you may use trial and error.

After finding the 2 numbers: 2 and 3.

Present them in this format:

(x+3) ( x+2) = 0

You may check if this is correct using the distribution method.

After this,

you have to solve it individually.

for example:

x+3 = 0

x = -3

x+2 = 0

x = -2.

Thus, x has 2 different values: -3, -2.

You may check this by substituting x with either of these values.

Answer:

$y=-2\,(x+3)^2-3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that they are asking you to write the equation of the parabola in vertex form, that is using the coordinates of the vertex $(x_v,y_v)$ in the expression:

$y-y_v=a\,(x-x_v)^2\\y=a\,(x-x_v)^2+y_v$

we can start by directly replacing the given vertex coordinates (-3, -3) in the expression, and then using the extra info on the point the parabola goes through in order to find the parameter $a$ :
