so, this is a quadratic equation, meaning two solutions, and we have a factored form of it, meaning you can get the solutions by simply zeroing out the f(x).
![\bf \stackrel{f(x)}{0}=-(x-3)(x+11)\implies 0=(x-3)(x+11)\implies x= \begin{cases} 3\\ -11 \end{cases} \\\\\\ \boxed{-11}\stackrel{\textit{\large 7 units}}{\rule[0.35em]{10em}{0.25pt}}-4\stackrel{\textit{\large 7 units}}{\rule[0.35em]{10em}{0.25pt}}\boxed{3}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbf%20%5Cstackrel%7Bf%28x%29%7D%7B0%7D%3D-%28x-3%29%28x%2B11%29%5Cimplies%200%3D%28x-3%29%28x%2B11%29%5Cimplies%20x%3D%20%5Cbegin%7Bcases%7D%203%5C%5C%20-11%20%5Cend%7Bcases%7D%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%20%5Cboxed%7B-11%7D%5Cstackrel%7B%5Ctextit%7B%5Clarge%207%20units%7D%7D%7B%5Crule%5B0.35em%5D%7B10em%7D%7B0.25pt%7D%7D-4%5Cstackrel%7B%5Ctextit%7B%5Clarge%207%20units%7D%7D%7B%5Crule%5B0.35em%5D%7B10em%7D%7B0.25pt%7D%7D%5Cboxed%7B3%7D)
so the zeros/solutions are at x = 3 and x = -11, now, bearing in mind the vertex will be half-way between those two, checking the number line, that midpoint will be at x = -4, so the vertex is right there, well, what's f(x) when x = -4?
![\bf f(-4)=-(-4-3)(-4+11)\implies f(-4)=7(7)\implies f(-4)=49 \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ ~\hfill \stackrel{vertex}{(-4~~,~~49)}~\hfill](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbf%20f%28-4%29%3D-%28-4-3%29%28-4%2B11%29%5Cimplies%20f%28-4%29%3D7%287%29%5Cimplies%20f%28-4%29%3D49%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5B-0.35em%5D%20%5Crule%7B34em%7D%7B0.25pt%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%20~%5Chfill%20%5Cstackrel%7Bvertex%7D%7B%28-4~~%2C~~49%29%7D~%5Chfill)
Answer:
the prime numbers between 30 and 59 are 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53
According to Greg himself (probably a master at pies) says perfect cherry pies have a ratio of 240 cherries to 3 pies. First, we need to divide 240 cherries by 3 pies to find out how many cherries are in one pie.
240 / 3 = 80
Then multiply by 9 to get your answer.
9 * 80 = 720
Answer:
2x+6 since the +3 and -3x cancel each other out your only left with 2x
