Answer:
<h2>
k = 3</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
The vertex is (d, e)
for quadratic function: f(x) = ax² + bx + c we have:
d = -b/a and d = (x₁ + x₂)/2
a = 1, b = k, x₁ = -4, x₂=-2
so:
d = -b/a = -k/1 = -k and d = (x₁ + x₂)/2 = (-4-2)/2 = -3
-k = -3
k = 3
Answer:
Question 16
(a) x < 1 : the values of x are smaller than than 1 (e.g. possible values are 0, -1, -2, etc) and since the circle is not shaded it means that 1 isn't a possible value of x
(b) x
-2 : the circle is filled therefore -2 is included in the answer
Question 17
(a) unfilled dot above -2 and arrow pointing to the left
(b) shaded circle above 4 with and arrow pointing to the right →
Given exponential function:

Let us obtain three points including the y-intercept so that we can plot the function y = f(x)
When x =0:

when x =1:

when x =2:

We have the points : (0, 1), (1, 1/5), and (2, 1/25)
Using these points, let us provide a sketch of the plot of y =f(x). We have the plot as shown below:
Answer:
-18
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be our number. First we have to write our equation.
The product of a number and -8 is represented as -8x (-8 multiplied by x). Remember that 'product' signifies multiplication.
The result is eight times the sum of x and 36. This is represented as 8(x + 36). We add x and 36 first because 8 has been multiplied by the sum of those two numbers.
So our equation is:
-8x = 8(x + 36)
We can now solve for x. First, expand the bracket.
-8x = 8x + 288
Next, subtract 8x from both sides. This will give us only one term containing x, which will make it easier to solve.
-8x - 8x = 8x + 288 - 8x
-16x = 288
Divide both sides by -16
x = -18
Sec is the length of the hypotenuse divided by the length of the adjacent side.
Meaning divide 20/16
Meaning your secant or sec is 1.25 or 1 1/4
