Answer:

$3000

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the court didn't charge any legal fee to Jed and Jed also the lawyer for this case didn't charge him anything, Jed had personally planned to get $15,000. Subtracting the amount initially paid, $10,000, Jed still needs $5,000 from Alison. Assuming a fair judgement was made, giving Jed 2,000 and subtracting this from his expectation of $5,000 we remain with $3,000. Therefore, we can conclude that the $3,000 is the loss he should record out of this deal.

Amanda placed her finger on the origin of a regular coordinate plane. She marked a point after moving her finger 1 unit to the l
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

( x , y ) = ( -1 , - 5 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

- The rectangular coordinate system ( Cartesian ) is defined by two independent variables namely, "x and y".

- The values of both varibales lie on the horizontal and vertical line respectively, ( x & y ).

- The values on the horizontal axis also known as the x-axis is marked with a referece of x = 0 ( origin ). All the values to the right of the point of origin are denoted as positive units and all values to the left of the point of origin are denoted as negative units.

- Similarly, The values on the vertical axis also known as the y-axis is marked with a referece of y = 0 ( origin ). All the values to the above the point of origin are denoted as positive units and all values below of the point of origin are denoted as negative units.

- The axis are conventionally oriented such that 90 degrees angle is formed in between them and always denoted in the counter-clockwise direction.

In other words, if +x is pointing to the right then the +y will be pointed in the direction when +x is rotated counter clockwise to 90 degrees; hence, points upward.

- When Amanda starts off at the origin she is at the order pair  ( 0 , 0 ).

- She then moves her finger 1 unit to left ( -x ) and 5 units down ( -y ). Hence, she moves 1 unit along the -x direction and then moves 5 units down along -y direction.

Hence, she is at an ordered pair ( x , y ) = ( -1 , - 5 ) .

Rewrite the function f(x)=3(x+1)^2-2 in the form f(x)=ax^2+bx+c
frutty [35]

Answer:

f(x) = 3x² + 6x + 1

General Formulas and Concepts:

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
  • Expand by FOIL (First Outside Inside Last)
  • Standard Form: f(x) = ax² + bx + c
  • Vertex Form: f(x) = a(bx + c)² + d

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define function</u>

f(x) = 3(x + 1)² - 2

<u>Step 2: Find Standard Form</u>

  1. Expand by FOILing:                        f(x) = 3(x² + 2x + 1) - 2
  2. Distribute 3:                                     f(x) = 3x² + 6x + 3 - 2
  3. Combine like terms (constants):    f(x) = 3x² + 6x + 1
