Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The minimum is at the vertex of this parabola because it opens up.

Now if (-4, 2) is the minimum then all the y values on the parabola must be > 2,

But we are given that y = -3 is on the graph ( the point (6,-3) - that is y < 2 here,

Therefore (-4, 2) cannot be the vertex .

$Use:\\distributive\ property:a(b+c)=ab+ac\\commutative\ property:a\cdot b=b\cdot a\\assiocative\ property:a\cdot(b\cdot c)=(a\cdot b)\cdot c\\and\ a^n\cdot a^m=a^{n+m}\\-----------------------\\\\4x(2x^2-7x+3)=(4x)(2x^2)+(4x)(-7x)+(4x)(3)\\\\=(4\cdot2)(x^1\cdot x^2)-(4\cdot7)(x^1\cdot x^1)+(4\cdot3)(x)\\\\=8x^{1+2}-28x^{1+1}+12x\\\\=\boxed{8x^3-28x^2+12x}$

Calculate the slope of the line that goes<br> through the ordered pairs (0, -7), and (-2,-27).

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope subtract the points like the following:

(-27-(-7)/(-2-0)

= -20/-2

=10

So, the slope is 10.

Shante is calculating the amount of time it takes a rocket to get to the moon. The moon is around 239,000 miles from Earth. How

mel-nik [20]

Answer: 20 hours

Step-by-step explanation: We want to round our answer to the nearest hour, we know that the rocket can travel 200 miles per 1 minute, but we want to know first how many miles the rocket can travel per 60 minutes or 1 hour.

To find how many miles the rocket can travel at 60 minutes or 1 hour, simply multiply 200 x 60. 200 x 60 = 12,000 miles per hour.

Now, we want to find how many hours it would take for the rocket to travel from the earth to the moon.

Simply divide 239,000 by 12,000 to get the amount of hours it would take to reach the moon. 239,000/12,000 = about 20 hours.

So, it would take the rocket ship 20 hours to reach the moon from the earth.
