Mathematics

erik [133]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute:

-2(x + 5) = -2

-2(x) -2(5) = -2

Multiply:

-2(x) -2(5) = -2

-2x - 10 = -2

Add 10 on both sides:

-2x - 10 = -2

      +10    +10

-2x = 8

Divide by -2 on both sides:

-2x = 8

/-2     /-2

x = -4

Find the equation of the para bola that has zeros of x = -2 and x = 3 and a y-intercept of (0,-30)
lana [24]

Answer:

y = 5x^2-5x-30

Step-by-step explanation:

A parabola with x-intercepts at (-2,0) and (3,0) has the equation

y = a(x+2)(x-3)

where a is to be determined.

We know that it passes through the point (0,-30), so

-30 = a(0+2)(0-3) = -6a

Therefore solve for a to get

a = 5

y = 5(x+2)(x-3)

y = 5(x^2-x+6)

y = 5x^2-5x-30

A recipe for brownies calls for 1/8 cup of sugar and the recipe makes 12 brownies what fraction of a cup is in each brownie? THA
denis23 [38]

Answer: \frac{1}{96}

Step-by-step explanation:

(\frac{1}{8})/12

Divide the fraction \frac{1}{8} by 12. This is because we need to split the sugar between 12 brownies, and to split something means to divide it. Use the switch, flip and multiply method.

I inserted an image on how to use this method.

Anyway, to use this method, we need 2 fractions, so instead of 12, we have to use \frac{12}{1}.

\frac{1}{8}/\frac{12}{1}

= \frac{1}{8} × \frac{1}{12}      Multiply the denominators and numerators

= \frac{1}{96}
