Answer:

\text{-2 is the leading coefficient of the quadratic equation }f(x)=-2x^2+5x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the quadratic function

f(x)=-2x^2+5x-4

we have to find the leading coefficient of given quadratic equation.

\text{The general form of quadratic equation is }ax^2+bx+c=0

The coefficient of x^2 i.e a is known as the leading coefficient.

Comparing given equation with the standard equation, we get

a=-2

\text{Hence, -2 is the leading coefficient of the quadratic equation }f(x)=-2x^2+5x-4

the sum of the recipocal of two consecutive even number is 7/24.one number is 6.the other number will be​
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

The numbers are 6 and 2x, then:

  • 1/6 + 1/(2x) = 7/24
  • 1/3 + 1/x = 7/12
  • (x+3)/(3x) = 7/12
  • 12(x+3) = 7*3x
  • 12x + 36 = 21x
  • 21x - 12x = 36
  • 9x = 36
  • x = 4

The other number is 2*4 = 8

Which is the the largest decimal? .345, .33, .332, .35
AysviL [449]

0.345 or .345

Step-by-step explanation:

because that is the highest decimal number because it has higher values, I mean "345" is greater than "33", "35", and "332".

the only way the smallest number would be the highest number is when it have a negative symbol to it e.g -0.1 is greater than -0.2 due to the fact that -0.1 is closer to 0,1,2,3,..... than -0.2 According to the number line.

All I'm trying to say is that, if it's not a negative number then the one with the highest value or number is actually the highest number EXCEPT if it Hans the negative symbol (-) to it, then it's the opposite meaning the "smallest number" would be the highest number.

Hope this helps buddy, Good luck ✅.
