Ok. In order to do this set up 2/5 divided by 5/7. The way you divide with fractions is by multiplying them but flipping the second fraction into 7/5 <---this is known as the reciprocal. In other words do:
2/5 x 7/5 =
14/25
There you go.
Answer:
There would be an overall 25% decrease
Step-by-step explanation:
Because -75 + 50 = -25
Answer:
<h3>
f(x) = - 3(x + 8)² + 2</h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = a(x - h)² + k - the vertex form of the quadratic function with vertex (h, k)
the<u> axis of symmetry</u> at<u> x = -8</u> means h = -8
the <u>maximum height of 2</u> means k = 2
So:
f(x) = a(x - (-8))² + 2
f(x) = a(x + 8)² + 2 - the vertex form of the quadratic function with vertex (-8, 2)
The parabola passing through the point (-7, -1) means that if x = -7 then f(x) = -1
so:
-1 = a(-7 + 8)² + 2
-1 -2 = a(1)² + 2 -2
-3 = a
Threfore:
The vertex form of the parabola which has an axis of symmetry at x = -8, a maximum height of 2, and passes through the point (-7, -1) is:
<u>f(x) = -3(x + 8)² + 2</u>
Let's see what the options look like when we multiply the expressions in brackets:
(first, i multiply both parts of the second bracked by the first part of the first bracket, and then the same with the second part of the first bracket:
<span>(1) (3x - 3)(x - 2))
3x2 +6x -3x +6// this is not correct
(2) (3x + 3)(x - 2) </span>
3x2-6x+3x-6//this is not correct
(3)
3(x + 1)(x - 2)
3(x2-2x+x-2)//simplifying:
3(x2-x-2)//multiplying:
3x2-3x-6)
- so this is not correct either
(4) 3(x - 1)(x - 2)
3(x2-2x - x + 2)
3(x2-3x +2)
3x2-9x +6 - well, here is our winner!
