Answer: 16 vegetables
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
I agree with Elena
Step-by-step explanation:
Ants have 6 legs. Elena and Andre write equations showing the proportional relationship between the number of ants, a, to the number of ant legs, v.
Elena writes a = 6 times v
Andre writes v =1/6 times a.
Mathematically
The number of ants a is directly proportional to the number of legs
=a ∝ v
Because if
1 ant = 6 legs
2 ants = x legs
x = 6 legs × 2
x = 12 legs
The number of ants is directly proportional to the number of legs
Therefore, Elena is correct and Andre is wrong.
Take the common denominator and divide by 3
The x coordinate of the vertex will be the average of the two zeros, here -3 and 5, so x=(-3+5)/2 = 1, f(1)=(1+3)(1-5) = -16.
Answer: (1, -16)
Let's do it some other ways. How about completing the square to turn f in to vertex form?
f(x) = (x+3)(x-5) = x² - 2x - 15 = (x² - 2x + 1) - 1 - 15 = (x-1)² - 16
and now we can read off (1, -16) as the vertex.
The other method is the vertex is x= - b/2a = - (-2)/2(1) = 1.
Three methods, same answer. Good.
