The image is needed so I can work this out
For a parabola if
a) Squared term is x
Parabola either opens up or down.
Positive coefficient means upward opening and negative coefficient means downward opening
b) Squared term is y
Parabola either opens right or left
Positive coefficient means rightwards opening and negative coefficient means leftwards opening
In the given question, since the squared term is y and coefficient is negative, the parabola will open towards left.
So correct answer is option B
The distributive property is a simplification rule that does not change the value of an expression. Nothing need be done to the other side of the equation.
q = -4(3+x)
q = -4*3 -4*x . . . . . the -4 is distributed. The right side has not changed value.
Here we can use fact than we can multiply fraction by inverse of fraction instead of dividing it.
Inverse of 1/3 is 3/1
Lets multiply it
- its our result
