It's an upside (-) down parabola. The axis of symmetry is the x coordinate of the vertex.
you can easily find this using formula: x= -b/2a
for parabola: ax² + b + c = 0
x = -16 ÷ 2(-4)
x = 2
Answer C
R=1 s=1 x=4 or you can basically double it and be like rs=2 x=8 i dont know your options or i could help better
Answer:
Crafts books: 7
Cookbooks: 13
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the crafts book
Let y be the cookbooks
Solve for x:
- Plug x and y in: x + y = 20
- Re-write: y = x + 6
- Plug in x + 6 instead of y: x + x + 6 = 20
- Combine like terms: 2x + 6 = 20
- Subtract 6 from each side, so it now looks like this: 2x = 14
- Divide each side by 2 to cancel out the 2 next to x. It should now look like this: x = 7
Solve for y:
- Re-use an equation from above: y = x + 6
- Plug in the value of x: y = 7 + 6
- 7 + 6 = 13
- So, y = 13
I hope this helps!
