Please use " ^ " to indicate exponentiation:  <span>y=−0.5x^2+8x 

Examining this function, we see that its graph is a vertical parabola opening down.

You did not supply instructions for this problem.
However, one could guess that you might want to find the highest point of the grasshopper's path.  To do this, find the vertex:  Find the x value defined by 

x = -b/(2a).  Here, a= -0.5 and b= 8.  Thus, the vertex is at x = -8/(2[-0.5]), or 

x -8/(-1) = 8 units.  The corresponding y value is then 

y =  </span><span>−0.5*8^2+8(8)  = -0.5(64) + 64, or 32 units.</span>

The correct answer is A.d* log_ba

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the power rule for logarithms, the logarithm of a power can be simplified by writing it as the product of the exponent multiplied by the logarithm of the base.

For example;

log_b(M^n)=nlog_bM

Hence in this case,

log_ba^d=d*log_ba

Lynna [10]

Answer:

12x + 18y + 6z + 4x - 4z

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression : 3(4x + 6y + 2z) + 4(x – z)

To eliminate the parenthesis ; we use the distributive property :

3(4x + 6y + 2z) + 4(x – z) becomes ;

3*4x + 3*6y + 3*2z + 4*x + 4*-z

12x + 18y + 6z + 4x - 4z

Hence,

12x + 4x + 18y + 6z - 4z

16x + 18y + 2z
