W=17 im too good at math to be wrong about this
Answer:
first option
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a parabola in vertex form is
y = a(x - h)² + k
where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier
m(x) = - 2 (x - 6)² + 18 ← is in vertex form
with vertex = (6, 18 )
Note: In option A, it should be "+" instead of "(".
Given:
The expression is

To find:
The equivalent expression.
Solution:
We have,

Using distributive property, we get


On combining like terms, we get


The expression
is equivalent to the given expression.
Therefore, the correct option is A.
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
the rate of change is the slope of the line connecting both points.
the slope is the ratio y/x indicating how many units y changes, when x changes a certain amount of units when going from one point to another.
so, here
x changes by -10 units (from -24 to -34)
y changes by -10 units (from 60 to 50).
the slope or rate of change is -10/-10 = 1/1 = 1
