Perform the indicated operation.
-8 + (-4) = -12
Steps:
-8 + ( -4 )
Remove Parenthesis:
( -a ) = -a
-8 - 4
Subtract the numbers:
-8 - 4
= -12
Answer: -8 - 4 = -12
Hope that helps!!!! : )
You have to equal out each side to fine the value of the variable.
hope this helped!!!
can u mark me brainliest plz?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A 2nd order polynomial such as this one will have 2 roots; a 3rd order polynomial 3 roots, and so on.
The quadratic formula is one of the faster ways (in this situation, at least) in which to find the roots. From 2x^2 + 4x + 7 we get a = 2, b = 4 and c = 7.
Then the discriminant is b^2 - 4ac, or, here, 4^2 - 4(2)(7), or -40. Because the discriminant is negative, we know that the roots will be complex and unequal.
Using the quadratic formula:
-4 ±√[-40] -4 ± 2i√10
x = ------------------ = ------------------
4 4
-2 ± i√10
Thus, the roots are x = ------------------
2
The vertex is exactly half way between directrix and focus. In this case the vertex is (8,-7)
(h,k)
P is the distance between the vertex and either the directrix or focus, in this case p = 1.
a = 1/(4p) or 1/(4*1) or 1/4
write the equation in vertex form
y = a(x-h)^2 + k
y = 1/4(x-8)^2 -7
