When you plug in the numbers for the integers, you get
8.2-2(-3.7)
If you multiply -2 and -3.7, you get 7.4 because the negatives cancel each other out.
If you then add 8.2, you get 15.6. So the answer is D.
Hope it Helps! :)
B. You can get this by factoring the bottom of the first expression and then cancelling the terms. Then multiply by the inverse of the second.
ANSWER
5
EXPLANATION
The equation that expresses the approximate height h, in meters, of a ball t seconds after it is launched vertically upward from the ground is

To find the time when the ball hit the ground,we equate the function to zero.

Factor to obtain;

Apply the zero product property to obtain,


t=0 or t=5.1 to the nearest tenth.
Therefore the ball hits the ground after approximately 5 seconds.
Y= -2x²-3x+2, (form y = ax² +b .x + c
The parabola opens downward & hence it's Vertex is a MAXIMUM.
We know that the axis of symmetry is -b/2a ==>3/(-4) ==>
x= - 3/4 (axis of symmetry. At x=-3/4 , y = 25/8 = 3.125
Hence the axis of symmetry is x= - 3/4 & the vertex is at (-3/4, 25/8)
We have learned that, in in an algebraic expression, letters can stand for numbers. When we substitute a specific value for each variable, and then perform the operations, it's called evaluating the expression. Let's evaluate the expression 3y + 2y when 5 = y.
