The number of loaves can be determined with dividing the butter by the number of cups needed for a loaf.
loaves = 2 1/2 ÷ 3/4

Change into improper fraction
loaves = 2 1/2 ÷ 3/4
loaves = 5/2 ÷ 3/4

Change into multiplication
loaves = 5/2 ÷ 3/4
loaves = 5/2 × 4/3
loaves = 20/6
loaves = 10/3
loaves = 3.3
Because the number of loaves can't be a fraction, round it to the smaller whole number

Roger can make 3 loaves of bread

Which of the following is a valid comparison between the possible minimum and maximum values of the function y = -x2 + 4x - 8 an

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

The maximum value of the equation is 1 less than the maximum value of the graph

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equation $y=-x^2+4x-8$ .

We can know that this graph will have a maximum value as this is a negative parabola.

In order to find the maximum value, we can use the equation $x=\frac{-b}{2a}$

In our given equation:

a=-1

b=4

c=-8

Now we can plug in these values to the equation

$x=\frac{-4}{-2} \\\\x=2$

Now we can plug the x value where the maximum occurs to find the max value of the equation

$y=-(2)^2+4(2)-8\\\\y=-4+8-8\\\\y=-4$

This means that the maximum of this equation is -4.

The maximum of the graph is shown to be -3

This means that the maximum value of the equation is 1 less than the maximum value of the graph

You will need to use the Pythagorean Theorem, actually a derivative of it sometimes called the "distance formula" to find the length of the segments between two points. Mathematically the distance is:

d^2=(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2

d=√(dx)^2+(dy)^2)
