You didn’t post an image of the graph..
Simple,
1/2 of 60
re-write it as 0.5 of 60 aka 0.5*60
which is 0.5*60=30
Do the same with 1/2 of 24.
0.5 of 24
0.5*24=12.
Thus, it's not the same because they are different numbers and different number give you different answers.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The greater the magnitude of the leading coefficient, the narrower the parabola.
Widest: f(x) = 0.5x²
Next: f(x) = -x²
Next: f(x) = 2x²
Narrowest: 3x²
We know that the 15% of missing pencils is equal to 9
we can use this formula
9/x = 15/100
Then cross multiply
15x = 900
x = 60
There were orignally 60 pencils
