Answer: Because the a-value is negative.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
The vertex form of a quadratic equation is: y = a(x - h)² + k where
- "a" is the vertical stretch
- -a is a reflection over the x-axis
- h is the horizontal shift (positive = right, negative = left)
- k is the vertical shift (positive = up, negative = down)
Given: g(x) = - (x + 1)² - 3
↓
a= -1
Since the a-value is negative, the parabola will be reflected over the x-axis which will change the curve from (U-shaped) to (∩-shaped).
Answer: 16 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we are given the information that 1/4 of the gas is left, it simply means that (1 - 1/4) = 3/4 has been used.
The tank was filled and this was 12 gallons of gas.
Let the gas that the tank hold be represented by x. Therefore,
3/4 of x = 12
3/4 × x = 12
0.75x = 12
x = 12/0.75
x = 16
The tank holds 16 gallons of gas.
