A number decreased by 12 is 24.
(by looking at your question, we can see that 'decreased by 12' =  subtract (-) 12)

We can write this as the equation n - 12 = 24, in which n = the number.

Now let's solve for n by using algebraic properties.

        n - 12 = 24
n - 12 + 12 = 24 + 12   (add 12 to both sides to isolate n)
               n = 24 + 12   (the -12 and +12 cancel to 0 on the left side)
               n = 36           (simplify, add 24 and 12)

Therefore the number is 36.

Answer:

x^4- x^3- 4x^2-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x)= x^4- x^2+9

And

g(x)= x^(3 )+ 3x^2+12

We have to find

(f-g)(x)= ?

The operations on functions are as easy as the operations on numbers or polynomials.

We have to subtract the functions to find the above mentioned operation.

=(f-g)(x)=f(x)-g(x)

(f-g)(x)=[x^4- x^2+9]-[x^(3 )+ 3x^2+12]

The minus will change the signs of function g.

= x^4- x^2+9- x^(3 )- 3x^2-12

= x^4- x^3- x^2- 3x^2+9-12

=x^4- x^3- 4x^2-3

Write an equation for the parabola whose vertex is at (4, 12) and which passes through (5, 21)
laiz [17]

Answer:

y - 12 = 9(x - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex (h, k) is (4, 12) and the point (5, 21) is on the graph.  Assuming that this is a vertical parabola, opening up (because the coordinate 21 is greater than the coordinate 12), we insert the knowns into  y - k = a(x - h)^2, obtaining

21 - 12 = a(5 - 4), or  9 = a.  With a known, we can write the desired equation:

y - 12 = 9(x - 4)
