Answer:

It has a maximum

Step-by-step explanation:

The way I think about it is looking at "a" (the leading variable's coefficient, so __x²), if it's negative, the graph is a frown, but if it's positive, it's a smile. In this case, a is -2, so the graph would have the shape of a frown, which has a maximum.

I hope this helped!

What is one thousand five hundred divided by five equal

Vikki [24]

Answer: 300

We know that 5×3=15. Since we are trying to get 1500 we Multiply 300×5 and get 1500.

How do we know?

As you can see if you cross out 2 of the 0 in 300 you have 3×5. When you multiply it you get 15.
Also if you cross out 1 of the 0 in 300 you have 30×5. When you multiply that you get 150.

As you see when you still multiply either of those problems you have 15 in it. So we should know 300×5=1500.

Note: We can also multiply 500×3 and get 1500. You still get the same answer but just switched numbers.

If you travel 4 miles around a circle with a radius of 1 mile, what is the central angle (q)?

mixer [17]

Answer:

229.18 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of a circle with radius r is 2×pi×r.

So if it has a radius of 1 mile, then the circumference is 2×pi×1=2pi miles.

So if we travel 4 miles, then the percentage of this circle we traveled is 4/(2pi)=63.66% approximately.

There are 360 degrees in a circle and we want to how much of that rotation belongs to traveling 4 miles of the circumference of a circle that measures 2pi miles. So 63.66%×360 degrees =229.18 degrees.
