The team moved the ball -3 yards per play.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total yards lost = 12 yards

Total plays = 4 plays

As the yards are lost, therefore, we will use negative sign.

Yards per play = $\frac{Number\ of\ yards}{Number\ of\ plays}$

Yards per play = $\frac{-12}{4}$

Yards per play = -3

The team moved the ball -3 yards per play.

Given the function ƒ(x ) = 3x + 1, evaluate ƒ(a + 1).

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

$\Huge \boxed{3a+4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is given.

$f(x)=3x+1$

To find : $f(a+1)$

The input for the function f(x) is (a + 1).

Replace x with (a + 1).

$f(a+1)=3(a+1)+1$

Expand brackets.

$f(a+1)=3a+3+1$

Simplifying.

$f(a+1)=3a+4$

The length of a rectangle is 2 inches more than a number. The width is 1 inch less than twice the same number. If the area of th

Tanya [424]

Answer:

length: 6 inches

width: 7 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n represent the number. Then the length is (n+2) and the width is (2n-1). The product of these dimensions is the area:

42 = (n+2)(2n -1) = 2n^2 +3n -2

2n^2 +3n -44 = 0 . . . . subtract 42

(n -4)(2n +11) = 0 . . . . . factor

n = 4 . . . . . . . . we aren't interested in the negative solution

Length = 4+2 = 6 . . . inches

Width = 2·4 -1 = 7 . . . inches

Is f(x)=(3x-6)(-4x+2) linear or quadratic

harkovskaia [24]

Answer: It is quadratic.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You have the following function:

$f(x)=(3x-6)(-4x+2)$

2. To determine if it is linear or quadratic, you can apply the Distributive property of multiplication, as you can see below:

$f(x)=(3x)(-4x)+(3x)(2)+(-6)(-4x)+(-6)(2)\\f(x)=-12x^{2}+6x+24x-12\\f(x)=-12x^{2}+30x-12$

3. The function has the form of a quadratic function:

$f(x)=ax^{2}+bx+c$

4. Therefore, it is a quadratic function.
