Double negative means a positive. Therefore, the equation is (5/8)+(7/8), which should equal 1.5, or 3/2, or 1 and 1/2.

5/8-(-7/8)
you multiply what is in the brackets by the negative sign.
5/8+7/8 (it is important to note that 2 negatives make a positive)
5/8+7/8=12/8
12/8=6/4
6/4=3/2
3/2 can also be written as 1 1/2

hope this helps :)

Find the axis of symmetry and the vertex and graph the following: f(x)=(x+2)(x-4)
algol [13]

something noteworthy is that the independent and squared variable in this case will be the "x", namely the graph of that quadratic is a vertical parabola.

\bf f(x) = (x+2)(x-4)\implies 0=(x+2)(x-4)\implies x = \begin{cases} -2\\ 4 \end{cases} \\\\\\ \boxed{-2}\rule[0.35em]{7em}{0.25pt}0\rule[0.35em]{3em}{0.25pt}\stackrel{\downarrow }{1}\rule[0.35em]{10em}{0.25pt}\boxed{4}

so the parabola has solutions at x = -2 and x = 4, and its vertex will be half-way between those two guys, namely at x = 1.

since this is a vertical parabola, its axis of symmetry, the line that splits its into twin sides, will be a vertical line, and it'll be the x-coordinate of the vertex, since the vertex hasa a coordinate of x = 1, then the axis of symmetry is the vertical line of x = 1.

Please help i put max points for u!!

Answer:

Equation: y = \frac{7}{4} x

21/2 cups of water

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in 7 as y and 4 as x

7 = 4k

Find k

k = 7/4

Then plug k into th equation

y = 7/4 x

For the second part of the question:

Plug in x which is 6 into the bolded equation.

y = (7/4)(6) = 42/4 = 21/2 (simplified form)

21/2 cups of water

Find
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

The amount of steel used = 94.38 m^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of the tank = 4.5 m.

Diameter of the tank = 4.2 m.

But,

radius = \frac{diameter}{2}

           = \frac{4.2}{2}

radius  = 2.1 m

Total surface area of a cylinder = 2\pirh + 2\pir^{2}

                                      = 2\pir(r + h)

                                      = 2 x \frac{22}{7} x 2.1 (2.1 + 4.5)

                                      = 44 x 0.3 (6.6)

                                      = 87.12

Total surface area of a cylinder = 87.12 m^{2}

Since \frac{1}{12} of the steel was wasted, then;

\frac{1}{12} x 87.12 = 7.26 m^{2}

Actual area of steel sheet used = 87.12 + 7.26

                                                     = 94.38 m^{2}

Thus, 94.38 m^{2} of steel was used in making the tank.
