We first need to write the function in standard form.
y = -x^2 - 7x + 18
To find the axis of symmetry, we do -b/2a
The a and b are the coefficients of the x values.
So a would be -1 since -x is same as -1x
Follow that, b would be -7.
Then just plug the values in. - (-7)/2(-1) = -7/2
The axis of symmetry is -7/2
We would be able to find a place with lots of that food to help it survive, I think.
Answer:
54
Explanation:
you have to use the principal of BODMAS
12 + 23 x 2 + 3 - 7
12 + 46 + 3 - 7
61 - 7
54
