Hmm
small means negative
if we tried -2 and 86 that is -172
if we tried -3 and 85 that is product of -225
but we have to keep one negative and one positive becuase as soon as both are negative, the product becomes positive
it cannot be 0
to get it as large as possible, make them the same, but negtaives of each other

88/2=44
-44 and 44
product is -1936


the minimum product is -1936

John owes 15 dollars to Bill, then another 2 dollars to Joey. How much money does John have?

Since John has 0 dollars to give, he has (-15)+(-2) =-17 dollars (as 15+2=17, so the same can be applied negatively) as the first 17 dollars he gets has to be given to Bill and Joey

How are the real solutions of a quadratic equation related to the graph of the quadratic function?
Anika [276]
The solutions you get when you solve the formula are the corresponding y coordinates to your x value. So say a point on your graph is (2,3). The first number is x and the second is y. (x,y). The number you plug into your function is x,or in this case: 2. The solution to the equation when the x value is plugged in is y, or 3. Therefore, giving you a point on your graph.

5k race surveyed runners about their finishing times (f) and the number of previous races they had run (n). The organizers found
vichka [17]
I FOUND YOUR COMPLETE QUESTION IN OTHER SOURCES.
 
SEE ATTACHED IMAGE, PLEASE.
 
The first thing we must do for this case is to define variables.
 n = number of 5k races covered
 f = end time.
 We have the following equation:
 f = -1.2n + 38.1
 We note that the slope of the line is:
 m = -1.2 minutes per race
 Therefore, the time decreases 1.2 minutes when the number of races increases n.
 Answer:
 
The model predicts that for each additional race to runner has run, the finishing time decreases by about 1.2 minutes

Answer:

m<U = 38degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given diagram, <B = <U since both triangles are similar, hence;

Hence;

2y+2 = 3y-16

2y - 3y = -16 - 2

-y = -18

y = 18

Get m<U

m<U = 3y-16

m<U = 3(18) -16

m<U = 54 - 16

m<U = 38degrees
