Answer:
downwards
Step-by-step explanation:
the equation of a parabola in vertex form is
f(x) = a(x - h)² + k
where (h, k ) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier
• if a > 0 then parabola opens upwards
• if a < 0 then parabola opens downwards
for
f(x) = - 4(x - 3)² + 9 with a = - 4 < 0 , then
the parabola opens downwards
8-5=-3 It's negative 3 because the 8 is greater than 5

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
r + 2 - 8r = -3 - 8r
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>r</u></em>
- Combine like terms: -7r + 2 = -3 - 8r
- Add 8r to both sides: r + 2 = -3
- Subtract 2 on both sides: r = -5
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in r into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute in <em>r</em>: -5 + 2 - 8(-5) = -3 - 8(-5)
- Multiply: -5 + 2 + 40 = -3 + 40
- Add: -3 + 40 = -3 + 40
- Add: 37 = 37
Here we see that 37 does indeed equal 37.
∴ r = -5 is a solution of the equation.
<u>Step 4: Define equation</u>
-4x = x + 5
<u>Step 5: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Subtract <em>x</em> on both sides: -5x = 5
- Divide -5 on both sides: x = -1
<u>Step 6: Check</u>
<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute in <em>x</em>: -4(-1) = -1 + 5
- Multiply: 4 = -1 + 5
- Add: 4 = 4
Here we see that 4 does indeed equal 4.
∴ x = -1 is a solution of the equation.
Answer:
(x - 2)(x + 1)(2x -1)
Step-by-step explanation:
We use synthetic division as a tool for factoring the given expression. The coefficients of the terms given are {2, -3, -3, 2}. If x - 2 is a factor of this expression, then 2 is a root. We perform synthetic division as follows:
2 / 2 -3 -3 2
4 2 -2
-------------------------------
2 1 -1 0
Next, we determine whether or not (2x - 1)(x + 1) represents the remaining factor(s). Using -1 as divisor, we get:
-1 / 2 1 -1
-2 1
---------------------
2 -1 0
Since the remainder is zero, x + 1 must be a factor and (2x - 1) the third factor. Answer D is correct.
