Answer:

The maximum value is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is an upside-down parabola, the maximum value occurs at the vertex. Using -b/2a, we can find the x-value of the vertex and use that x value to plug back into the original function to find the maximum value.

x = -b/2a = -(-12)/(2(-6)) = 12/-12 = -1

f(-1) = -6(-1)^2-12(-1)-1 = 5

Solve for the following system by using Elimination4x-2y=86x+6y=30

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

System

$\begin{gathered} 4x-2y=8 \\ 6x+6y=30 \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} 3(4x-2y)=8 \\ 6x+6y=30 \\ \\ 12x-6y=24 \\ + \\ 6x+6y=30 \\ \\ 12x+6x-6y+6y=24+30 \\ 18x=54 \\ x=3 \end{gathered}$

Now, for y

$\begin{gathered} 4x-2y=8 \\ -2y=8-4x \\ 2y=4x-8 \\ y=\frac{4x-8}{2} \\ y=\frac{4\cdot3-8}{2} \\ y=\frac{12-8}{2} \\ y=\frac{4}{2} \\ y=2 \end{gathered}$

What is the difference of the fractions? Use the number line to help find the answer.

Doss [256]

Answer:

Option 'b' i.e. -11/20 is the correct option.

Thus,

$\frac{1}{5}-\frac{3}{4}=-\frac{11}{20}$
