24 cups
Make it a ration
3:0.5
x:4
Cross multiply
0.5x=12
x=24
Answer: x > 5 and x < 10
Step-by-step explanation:
in the first inequality, divide both sides by -2 and remember to reverse the inequality sign when you divide by a negative number.
For the second one, add 4 to both sides.
Answer:
I think the answer is A
Step-by-step explanation:
Blue car get's 23.6mpg while Red car gets 28mpg.
On one gallon of fuel, Red car will travel 4.4 miles further than Blue car.
something noteworthy is that the independent and squared variable in this case will be the "x", namely the graph of that quadratic is a vertical parabola.
![\bf f(x) = (x+2)(x-4)\implies 0=(x+2)(x-4)\implies x = \begin{cases} -2\\ 4 \end{cases} \\\\\\ \boxed{-2}\rule[0.35em]{7em}{0.25pt}0\rule[0.35em]{3em}{0.25pt}\stackrel{\downarrow }{1}\rule[0.35em]{10em}{0.25pt}\boxed{4}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbf%20f%28x%29%20%3D%20%28x%2B2%29%28x-4%29%5Cimplies%200%3D%28x%2B2%29%28x-4%29%5Cimplies%20x%20%3D%20%5Cbegin%7Bcases%7D%20-2%5C%5C%204%20%5Cend%7Bcases%7D%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%20%5Cboxed%7B-2%7D%5Crule%5B0.35em%5D%7B7em%7D%7B0.25pt%7D0%5Crule%5B0.35em%5D%7B3em%7D%7B0.25pt%7D%5Cstackrel%7B%5Cdownarrow%20%7D%7B1%7D%5Crule%5B0.35em%5D%7B10em%7D%7B0.25pt%7D%5Cboxed%7B4%7D)
so the parabola has solutions at x = -2 and x = 4, and its vertex will be half-way between those two guys, namely at x = 1.
since this is a vertical parabola, its axis of symmetry, the line that splits its into twin sides, will be a vertical line, and it'll be the x-coordinate of the vertex, since the vertex hasa a coordinate of x = 1, then the axis of symmetry is the vertical line of x = 1.
