Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph is moved up by 4, that is why it says +4 in the equation
P(1) = P(-1)
P(1) = 3 - a + b
P(-1) = -3 + a + b
-> 3 - a + b = -3 + a + b
-> 3 - a + b + 3 - a - b = 0
-> 6 - 2a = 0
-> a = 3.
P(2) = 24 - 2a + b -> 24 - (2a - b) = 16 -> 2a - b = 8
-> 6 - b = 8
b = -2.
So, a = 3 and b = -2
Recheck : P(1) = 3 - 3 + (-2) = -2
P(-1) = -3 + 3 + (-2) = -2 => P(1) = P(-1) (true)
P(2) = 24 - 6 + (-2) = 16.
Answer:
A definition and a theorem can be used as a reason in a two-column proof. A two column proof is assembled into statement and reason columns, where each statement should have verified reason.
Step-by-step explanation:
Y = 2x³, when x = -3
<span>y = 2*(-3)³
</span>
<span>y = 2*-27
</span>
y = -54
Answer:
6.75 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
This question is of direct variation. We will use x as our answer. 8 is 2/3 of 12, so 4.5 should be 2/3 of x. We can now make an equation.

In order to solve the equation, we multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 2/3, which is 3/2.
* stands for multiplication
From solving our equation, we get 6.75. We can't forget the units, so the answer is 6.75 pounds.
