First we expand and combine the terms on the left side. This gives us
12x + 32 -4x + 8 = -8x + 40
8x + 40 = -8x + 40. Because the two sides cancel each other out when you try and bring all the x to one side, the answer is x = 0.
Answer:
y = 2x^2 - 12x + 27
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Distribute the power</u>
y = 2(x - 3)² + 9
y = 2(x^2 - 6x + 9) + 9
y = 2x^2 - 12x + 18 + 9
y = 2x^2 - 12x + 27
Answer: y = 2x^2 - 12x + 27

the equation is a quadratic one, and it has a positive coefficient on the leading term, meaning, is opening upwards, so it has a "burrow" for the vertex.
the minimum or lowest point for a quadratic opening upwards is, well, the vertex point :), the "x" value is the year, the "y" or f(x) value is the population, we're asked for the year, or the x-coordinate of the vertex
well
They are both fractions, but 3/3 is 1 whole and 4/4 is 1 whole also.
so 1 whole times 1 whole equals 1
number form of my explanation:
3/3=1
4/4=1
1x1=1
