Explain how to subtract two integers in your own words

1 answer:

8 0

To subtract integers, change the sign on the integer that is to be subtracted.
If both signs are positive, the answer will be positive. Example: 14 - (-6) = 14 + 6 = 20.
If both signs are negative, the answer will be negative. ...
If the signs are different subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger absolute value.

Since we know that the graph of our quadratic function has x-intercepts at (6,0) and (18,0), $x=6$ and $x=18$ are the zeroes of our quadratic. To find our quadratic we are going to factor each zero backwards and multiply them:
$x=6$
$x-6=0$
$x=18$
$x-18=0$

$(x-6)(x-18)=x^{2}-6x-18x+108$
$=x^{2}-24x+108$

Now that we have our quadratic function, we are going to use the average formula: $m= \frac{f(9)-f(3)}{9-3}$
$where$
$f(9)$ is the function evaluated at the 9th month
 $f(3)$ is the function evaluated at the 3rd month

$m= \frac{f(9)-f(3)}{9-3}$
$m= \frac{[9^{2}-24(9)+108]-[3^{2}-24(3)+108]}{9-3}$
$m= \frac{-27-45}{6}$
$m= \frac{-72}{6}$
$m=-12$

We can conclude that the closest approximate average rate of change for Edna's profits from the 3rd month to the 9th month is: B. −11.63 dollars per month.
