Simplify. x-2/(x^2+4x-12)

In order to solve this you need to factor the denominator. 
x^2 +4x - 12
I see that 12 is a product of 6 and 2 and 4 and 3 and 1 and 12.
I pick the two products that, when added together, give me the 4x term.
Here it's 6 and two I just need to make one of them a negative.
now put them in this form:
(x + 6)(x-2) 
In the fraction I see that there is an x-2 in the numerator. This can cancel out with the x-2 in the denominator. Now you have 1/x-6 but remember you can never have a zero in the denominator so x can't equal -6. 
And you're done!

Consider a parabola P that is congruent to y=x^2, opens upward, and has vertex (0,0). Find the equation of a new parabola that r
slega [8]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  y = -(x+1)^2 +3

Step-by-step explanation:

Translating f(x) left by 1 unit replaces x with x+1.

Translating f(x) up by 3 units replaces f(x) with f(x)+3.

Reflecting f(x) over the x-axis replaces f(x) with -f(x).

__

When y = x^2 is reflected over the x-axis, it becomes ...

  y = -x^2

When y = -x^2 is translated 1 unit left, it becomes ...

  y = -(x +1)^2

When y = -(x+1)^2 is translated 3 units up, it becomes ...

  y = -(x +1)^2 +3

Donna Meagle notices that on 12 out of 14 days, her clumsy coworker Jerry Gergich spills his lunch on himself. She concludes tha
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

It is an example of an empirical probability.

Step-by-step explanation:

The empirical probability, also called experimental probability of an event is the ratio of the number of outcomes in which a specified event occurs to the total number of trials, not in a theoretical sample space but in an actual experiment.

Theoretical probability is probability that is determined on the basis of reasoning.

It is evident that the probability in the question was arrived at after the outcome of 14 days of whether Jerry Gergich spilled his lunch on himself or not.

It's an actual result of an experiment, hence the 12/14 = 0.86 = 86% that he spills his lunch on himself tomorrow.

Hope this Helps!!!

Graph each absolute value function. State the domain, range, and y-intercept.
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

i)D:x\in R

ii)R: y\ge-3

iii) Y-int:(0,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

i) The given absolute value function is;

f(x)=|x+2|-3.

The absolute value function is defined for all real values of x.

The domain is all real numbers.

ii) The range is all y-values that will make x defined.

The given function,

f(x)=|x+2|-3.

has vertex at, (-2,-3) and opens upwards.

This implies that, the minimum y-value is -3.

The range is y\ge-3

iii) To find the y-intercept substitute x=0 in to the function.

f(0)=|0+2|-3.

f(0)=|2|-3.

f(0)=2-3.

f(0)=-1.

The y-intercept is (0,-1)

See attachment for graph.
