2nd boat:
Parabola equation:

The x-coordinate of the vertex:

Equation:

The y-coordinate of the vertex:

Parabola passes through the point (-8,1), so

Solve:

Parabola equation:

System of two equations:

(2x²<span> + 3x - 4) + (8 - 3x) + (-5x</span>²<span> + 2)
= </span> 2x² + 3x - 4 + 8 - 3x - 5x² + 2
= -3x² + 6
= 3(-x² + 2)
Step-by-step explanation: So ig this wat you ASKED FOR?
This is the answer I hope this will help you
In order to change a fraction into a decimal you must divide the numerator by the decimal so divide 1 by 8 and so as you go through the equation you get a decimal number because 8 cannot go into 1 of course.
Answer: 0.125 is the amount you ate in decimal form
