When you divide a whole number by a decimal less than 1, the quotient is greater than the whole number. Why?

1 can be interpreted as a "whole" thing, and smaller than 1 is a part of a thing.

imagine: if you have some cakes and you count the number of cake pieces, those will be more than the number of cakes: as each cake will have more than one piece! (otherwise it wouldn't be called a piece!)

so the result of a division by a fraction is bigger than the original number, there are more parts than wholes in the results, as each whole has multiple parts!

for example: divide 3 cakes into pieces which are 1/4th of a cake. how many such pieces would there be? 12! more than the 3 original cakes;

is this possible to understand? tell me if not!

f(x)=2x^2-4x+1

Substitute the values of x to the equation of the function f:

x=-1\to f(-1)=2(-1)^2-4(-1)+1=2(1)+4+1=7\\\\x=2\to f(2)=2(2^2)-4(2)+1=2(4)-8+1=1

Therefore we have two points (-1, 7) and (2, 1).

We can calculate the slope of line l.

The formula of a slope:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Substitute:

m=\dfrac{1-7}{2-(-1)}=\dfrac{-6}{3}=-2

<h3>Answer: A) -2.</h3>

Write an equation for the function
Mila [183]

Answer:

  m(u) = -0.25(u +2)² +1    or    -0.25u² -u

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is fairly easily written in vertex form, as the vertex point is on a grid line intersection at (-2, 1). The parabola opens downward, so the scale factor is negative.

The vertical change from the vertex is only a fraction of a unit when u differs from the vertex by 1. It is 1 unit when u differs from the vertex by 2, so the magnitude of the vertical scale factor is 1/2² = 1/4.

Our equation will be of the form ...

  m(u) = (vertical scale factor)(u - (horizontal vertex location))² + (vertical vertex location)

For this graph, the equation is ...

  m(u) = -0.25(u +2)² +1

or, simplifying, we get ...

  m(u) = -0.25u² -u

Jill had some candy to give to her five
Mama L [17]
She started with 32 pieces.

Explanation: If she had 5 children and each child received 5 pieces, you can determine that she gave her children a total of 25 pieces because 5 x 5 = 25. If she took 7 pieces for herself before giving the rest away, you can determine that she had 32 pieces of candy to start with because 25 + 7 = 32.
