Loosely, "varies inversely" means that as one quantity increases, the other decreases. Specifically, if x and y vary inversely, then y = k/x where k is some constant (a particular number).

Another way to write that relationship is xy = k.  To find the value of k for this problem, you need a numbers for x and y that go together.

Suppose x = number of children and y = number of candies (it doesn't matter what order these go in as long as you keep track!).

"When 12 children are present, 140 pieces of candy are consumed."  So when x = 12, the value of y = 140.

xy = k
(12)(140) = k
1680 = k

Now, when x = 8 children,

8y = 1680
y = 210

Answer:

Second option

Third option

Fourth option

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following quadratic function

f(x) =(x-1)(x+7)

Use the distributive property to multiply the expression

f(x) =x^2+7x-x-7

f(x) =x^2+6x-7

For a function of the form f (x) = ax ^ 2 + bx + c the x coordinate of the vertex is:

x =-\frac{b}{2a}

Then in this case the coordinate of the vertex is:

x =-\frac{6}{2(1)}

x =-3

To obtain the y coordinate of the vertex we evaluate the function at x = -3

f(-3) =(-3)^2+6(-3)-7

f(-3) =9-18-7

f(-3) =-16

Then the vertex is:  (-3, -16)

We can see in the graph that the zeros of the function are x=1 and x=-7

Then the function is decreasing from -∞ to -3 and then it is increasing from -3 to ∞

The function is positive for x and x> 1

The correct answers are:

Second option

Third option

Fourth option
