y= -\frac{1}{2} x^{2}-1 is a quadratic function, so its graph is a parabola.

Notice that the coefficient of x is 0, this always means that the axis of symmetry is the y-axis.

That is, the vertex of the parabola is in the y-axis, so the x-coordinate of the vertex is 0.

for x=0, y=-1. So the vertex is (0, -1)

The coefficient of x^{2} is negative. This means that the parabola opens downwards, so the vertex is a maximum.


Answer: (0, -1) , maximum (none of the choices)

Solve for y<br> 1/8y-2/3=5.5
amm1812

Answer:

y = 49 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

1/8y-2/3=5.5

1/8y = 5.5 + 2/3

multiply both sides by 8:

y = 8(5.5 + 2/3) = 44 + 16/3 = 44 + 5 1/3 = 49 1/3

Zanzabum

Answer:

C = 364.24

Step-by-step explanation:

Comment

The circumference and the radius are related to one another. The constant relating them is pi which is a fixed number of 3.14 The formula for the circumference is C = 2*pi * r

Givens

pi = 3.14

r = 58 cm

Circumference = ?

Formula

C = 2*pi * r

C = 2 * 3.14 * 58

C = 364.24
