The value of x-y is negative, and x and y are both positive. What can you conclude about the values of x

1 answer:

3 0

Well for two positive numbers subtracted to equal a negative number, the first number must have a value that is less than the second number. (Ex. 3-4= -1) In this case, you can conclude that x is less than y! (x<y)

\qquad if\ \frac{{{ C}}}{{{ B}}}\textit{ is negative, to the right}\\\\
\qquad if\ \frac{{{ C}}}{{{ B}}}\textit{ is positive, to the left}\\\\
\end{array}$

$\bf \begin{array}{llll}


\bullet \textit{ vertical shift by }{{ D}}\\
\qquad if\ {{ D}}\textit{ is negative, downwards}\\\\
\qquad if\ {{ D}}\textit{ is positive, upwards}\\\\
\bullet \textit{ period of }\frac{2\pi }{{{ B}}}
\end{array}$

now, with that template in mind, let's take a peek at this function

$\bf \begin{array}{lllcclll}
y=&2(&1x&-2)^2&-4\\
&\uparrow &\uparrow &\uparrow &\uparrow \\
&A&B&C&D
\end{array}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
A\cdot B=2\impliedby \textit{shrunk by a factor of 2, of half-size}\\\\
\cfrac{C}{B}= \cfrac{-2}{1}\implies -2\impliedby \textit{horizontal right shift of 2 units}\\\\
D=-4\impliedby \textit{vertical down shift of 4 units}$

so, the graph of y=2(x-2)²-4, is really the same graph of y=x², BUT, narrower, and moved about horizontally and vertically

The most accurate way would be the fourth answer, because to estimate 66% of 47 you need to round both as closely as possible. 66% rounds closest to 2/3, and 47 is closest to 48

Tricia is going to write Patterns A, B, and C using the rule add 15. The first

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

The answer is "Pattern B showed number 40; each pattern is also increased as per the rule".

Step-by-step explanation:

In every sequence pattern, it recalls that rule, it adds 15 in this need to build from the specified initial estimate each sequence.

In Pattern A.

5+20+35+50+......

In Pattern B.

10+25+40+55+70+.....

In Pattern C.

15+30+45+60....

In this, pattern option B is correct because it will give 40.
