Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two ways to see what the next sequence number would be in this case.

First approach, you start with the first number (1) than count every other number, which are all positive integers. You do the same starting from the second number (-1), which would then be all negative integers.

Second approach, consider 2 consecutive numbers being a single element of the series... each has a number (1,2,3) with its positive and negative values.

Help with those three please!!

Scilla [17]

Answer:

Part 1) Option A. The axis of symmetry is x=4

Part 2) Option C. minimum

Part 3) Option A. (4,-4)

Part 4) Option B. (2,0) and (6,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$f(x)=x^{2}-8x+12$

Part 1) What is the axis of symmetry of the parabola described by the equation above?

we know that

The equation above is a vertical parabola open upward

The axis of symmetry is the x-coordinate of the vertex

Find the vertex of the parabola (convert the equation in vertex form)

$f(x)-12=x^{2}-8x$

$f(x)-12+16=x^{2}-8x+16$

$f(x)+4=x^{2}-8x+16$

$f(x)+4=(x-4)^{2}$

$f(x)=(x-4)^{2}-4$ ----> equation in vertex form

The vertex of the parabola is (4,-4)

The axis of symmetry is x=4

Part 2) The vertex of the equation above is also

we know that

The equation above is a vertical parabola open upward

therefore

The vertex is a minimum

Part 3) What is the vertex of the parabola described by the equation above

we know that

The equation of the parabola into vertex form is equal to

$f(x)=(x-4)^{2}-4$

therefore

The vertex of the parabola is (4,-4)

Part 4) What are the x-intercepts of the parabola described by the equation above

we know that

The x-intercepts are the values of x when the value of y is equal to zero

$f(x)+4=(x-4)^{2}$

f)x)=0

$4=(x-4)^{2}$

take square root both sides

$(x-4)=(+/-)2$

$x=4(+/-)2$

$x=4(+)2=6$

$x=4(-)2=2$

therefore

The x-intercepts are

(2,0) and (6,0)

stiv31 [10]

The first thing we must do for this case is to define variables: x: number of tickets sold before the tournament. y: number of tickets sold at the door. The system of equations that adapts to this situation is given by: x + y = 820 x-y = 80 Answer: The correct options are: option 2 option 3 option 5

The temperature of a cup of coffee varies according to Newton's Law of Cooling: dT dt equals negative k times the quantity T min

denis23 [38]

Answer:

(b) 67

Step-by-step explanation:

A solution to the differential equation describing the temperature according to Newton's Law of Cooling could be written as ...

T = (final temp) + (initial difference)×(decay factor)^t

where the decay factor is the fraction of change during 1 unit of time period t.

Here, the initial difference of 100-25 = 75 degrees decays to 90-25 = 65 degrees in 1 minute. So, the units of t are minutes, the decay factor is 65/75, the initial difference is 75 degrees, and the final temperature is 25 degrees. That lets us write the equation as ...

T = 25 +75(65/75)^t

Then for t=4, the temperature is ...

T = 25 +75(13/15)^4 ≈ 67.3 . . . . degrees

After 4 minutes the temperature of the coffee is about 67 degrees.
