The answer is x=-2
As you could see, this is a factored function.
The un-factored version is x^2+4x-12
-b/2a=x
-4/2=-2= x of vertex
I get:
24 = 3x-12
add 12 to both sides
36 = 3x
divide each side by 3 and you will get 12
X^m means x times itself m times
(-6)^5 means -6 time itself 5 times
simplify it says
remember that
(mn)^x=(m^x)(n^x)
undistribute the -1
(-6)^5=(-1)^5 times (6^5)
(-1)^5=-1 since it is odd power
can be simplified to
-6^5
(note, -6^5 vs (-6)^5 PEMDAS)
12. Make equation and plug in
13. Proportion
14. Finding a constant rate, and then manipulate
12. Where x is miles driven, and y is answer, and z is days
19.95z+0.15x=y
Plug in two values
19.95 x 2 + 0.15 x 250 = y
39.93+37.5 = y
y=77.43
13. 5:2 as 175:x
5/2 = 175/x
x = 70
70+175=245
14. 260:5 = x:1
260/5=x/1
x = 52
52:1 = y:9
52/1 = y/9
y = 468
I hope you understand the process.
