This question would be a lot better if you had actually included the exercises. When a question talks about other questions that you already did, you need to include those too. Otherwise we don't know what the question is talking about. Fortunately I was able to figure it out without seeing the exercises, but just for future reference, you should include that extra information.

When two addends(things you add together) are negative, adding them is a lot like adding positive numbers; you just have a negative sign on the sum. For example,
4 + 5 = 9
-4 + -5 = -9

Reagan is using geometry software to construct a regular pentagon by using rotations.

I would assume that he's using a 90° rotation.

4y+6 for y-12<br> Evaluate the expression.

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I think what you mean is y = 12, so I'll just go off that. So we substitute 12 for y and we get 4*12 + 6. Then we multiply. 48 + 6 and we get 54! I hope this helped and please mark brainliest!

The graphs shown are of the form y = ax2. Which graph has the smallest value for a?

julia-pushkina [17]

$y= x^{2}$ is a parabola (looks like the letter U).

The letter a represents the coefficient of $x^{2}$ and it controls two things (1) how wide or narrow the parabola is and (2) whether it is concave up (like a U) or concave down (like an up-side-down).

The absolute value of a (the number without the sign) controls how wide or narrow it is. If the absolute value is a fraction less than 1 the graph gets wider. The smaller the absolute value of the fraction the wider the graph gets.

If the absolute value of a is greater than 1 the graph gets narrower (it gets skinnier). The bigger the absolute value the narrower the graph.

So, if all the graphs look like a U (concave up) then the one with the smallest a is the one that is the widest.

The a also controls whether the graph is concave up or concave down. If a is negative

If a is negative the graph is concave down so any graph that is concave down has a smaller value of a than any graph that is concave up. However, if the graph is concave down the one with the smallest a would be the most narrow one.

So to find the one with the smallest a...
If they are all concave up (like a U) pick the widest one
and
If they are not all concave up pick the narrowest one that is concave down (looks like an upside down U)
