Answer:
f(8) = -30 is the maximum
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation is that of a parabola in vertex form:
y = a(x -h)^2 +k . . . . . . . . (h, k) is the vertex; 'a' is the scale factor
Comparing this form to the given equation, we have ...
f(x) = -(x -8)^2 -30
That is, the scale factor is -1, and the vertex is (8, -30).
When the scale factor is negative, the graph opens downward and the vertex is a maximum. The maximum value is -30.
Answer:
387 contains 80 and 8 x 10 = 80
Answer:
61 and -87
Step-by-step explanation:
If the numbers are x and x - 148, we can write the following equation:
x + x - 148 = -26
2x - 148 = -26
2x = 122
x = 61 so x - 148 = 61 - 148 = -87
Answer:
y=5/2
Step-by-step explanation:
I found the answer to this by first dividing 34 by 4 to get 8.5. We already know what 4 divided by 4 is. For every one pound of almonds, it costs $8.50. Since we know that we need to find out how much it costs for 5 pounds of almonds, we simply multiply 8.5 by 5 to get 42.5. It costs $42.50 to buy 5 pounds of almonds.
