Answer:

  b.  4x^2 + 3x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The values of f(x) for the extremes of x are more positive than the value of f(x) for the middle x, so we know the parabola opens upward. That eliminates choice D.

It is probably easiest to evaluate the other expressions to see which one matches the given f(x) values. For the purpose, it is usually easier to use the Horner form of the equation.

a. f(-2) = (3(-2) +4)(-2) -6 = -2(-2) -6 = -2 ≠ 4

b. f(-2) = (4(-2) +3)(-2) -6 = -5(-2) -6 = 4 . . . . matches the given data point

c. Because (b) matches, we know this one will not.

The appropriate choice is B.

Answer:

b. 4x² -3x - 6  

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a multiple-choice question, so the easiest way to get the correct answer would be to insert the values and see which option works.

However, "they" may not always give you the answer. Here's how to work it out.

The equation for a parabola is

y = ax² + bx + g

You can substitute the points (x, y) into the equation three times and then solve three equations in three unknowns.

Point (-2, 4)

     a(-2)² + b(-2) + c = 4

(1) 4a      - 2b      + c = 4

Point (0, -6)

   a(0)² + b(0) + c = -6

(2)                      c = -6

Point (4, 70)

       a(4)² +   b(4) + c = 70

(3) 16a      + 4b     + c = 70

From equation (2),  

c = -6

Substitute the value of c into equations (1) and (3).

(4)  4a  - 2b - 6 =   4

(5) 16a + 4b - 6 = 70

Move the constants to the right-hand side

(6)  4a - 2b  = 10

(7) 16a + 4b = 76

Divide equation (7) by 2

(8) 4a  - 2b  = 10

(9) 8a + 2b  = 38

Add equations (8) and (9)

12a = 48

   a = 48/12 = 4

Substitute the values of  a and c into equation (1)

4(4) - 2b  -  6 =  4

  16 - 2b  -  6 =  4

        -2b + 10 =  4

        -2b        = -6

            b        =  3

So, a = 4, b = 3, c = -6

The equation for the parabola is

y = 4x² + 3x - 6

The figure below shows your parabola passing through the three points.

irakobra [83]

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

24 cubes. Reasoning varies. Sample reasoning: The length of the box

can fit or 5/4 : 5/12 =3 cubes. The width of the box can fit or 5/3 : 5/12 = 4 cubes.  The height of the box can fit 5/6 : 5/12 = 2 cubes. The box can fit

or 24 cubes.

For each fraction, write the equivalent percent. a. 6/100 b. 57/100 c. 357/100 d. 100/100​
ddd [48]

Answer:

(A) 6%

(B) 57%

(C) 357%

(D) 100%

Step-by-step explanation:

(A) 6 / 100 = 6%

(B) 57 / 100 = 57%

(C) 357 / 100 = 357%

(D) 100 / 100 = 100%

Explain how you can use doubles when multiplying with 4 to find 4x8
hoa [83]
When multiplying by 4, you can simply multiply it by 2 twice (prime factorization).
In this example-
4 times 8 = 32
2 times 2 times 8 = 32

Hope this helped!
By the way, I'm getting closer to leveling up, so if you liked my answer, you could reward me with brainliest answer. That'd be great!

Use ordered pair rule(x,y) (x-4,y+8) to find the preimage of (8,20)
natka813 [3]

Answer:

(12,12)

Step-by-step explanation:

For the x coordinate you add 4 to 8, and get 12.

For the y coordinate you subtract 8 from 20 to get 12.

So it would read (x + 4, y -8) -> (12,12)
