Pedro made mistake in step 3.

He supposed to plug in y = 12 into the y in the equation to solve for x

Should be:

-14x - 2(2)=24

-14x - 4 = 24

-14x = 28

    x = -2

Keep Change Flip!!!
Keep: the first fraction 5 or 5/1

For a quadratic function ƒ(x)=ax2+bx+c, ƒ(−1)<1, ƒ(1)>−1, and ƒ(3)<−4. What could be the sign of a?
denis23 [38]

Answer:

"a" must be negative

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope between points (-1, 1) and (1, -1) is a minimum of (-1-1)/(1-(-1)) = -1.

The slope between points (1, -1 and (3, -4) is a maximum of (-4-(-1))/(3-1) = -3/2.

Thus, as x increases, the slope is decreasing. In order for that to be the case, the value of <em>a</em> must satisfy a < 0.
