Answer:

8/21

Step-by-step explanation:

The total job is 1

Mike has done 1/3    and Dena has done 2/7 of the job   We still need to do x of the job to complete it

1/3 + 2/7+ x  = 1

We need to get a common denominator 3*7 = 21

Multiply each side by 21

21(1/3 + 2/7+ x)  = 1*21

21(1/3) + 21*(2/7)+ 21x  = 21

7+ 3*2 +21x =21

7+6+21x = 21

13+21x = 21

Subtract 13 from each side

13-13+21x=21-13

21x = 8

Divide each side by 21

21x/21 = 8/21

x = 8/21

We need to complete 8/21 of the job

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A positive parabola is one that has a + sign out front or no sign at all (and the positive is understood).  A positive parabola opens like a cup with a bottom.  Therefore, the positive parabola has a min value.  A negative parabola opens upside down, like a mountain with a peak.  Therefore, the negative parabola has a max value.
