1/2 because 36 is half of 72. You could also divide the numbers by 12 and you will get 3/6 which is the same as 1/2.
Answer:
Stephen has 9 trees
Alice has 21 trees
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>At the beginning:</u>
Stephen = x trees
Alice = x + 12 trees
<u>At the end:</u>
Alice = (x + 12) - 4 trees
Stephen = x + 10 trees
Total = 36
Then
Stephen - 9 trees
Alice - 9 + 12 = 21 trees
Answer
If we had a sale price of 30% off of $1,050then the sale price is 70% of $1,050 or 0.7(1050) Then we add 7% sales tax to that making thefinal price paid 107% of [0.7(1050)] ... 1.07[0.7(1050)] = $786.45
<span>The vertex of the parabola is the highest or lowest point of the graph.
</span><span>y=-4x^2+8x-12 = -4 (x^2 -2x +3)
Lets work with this now: </span>x^2 -2x +3
x^2 -2x +3 -> what is the closeset perfect square?
x^2 -2x +1 = (x-1)^2
So
x^2 -2x +3 = (x-1)^2 +2
Replacing to original
y=-4x^2+8x-12 = -4 (x^2 -2x +3) = -4 ((x-1)^2 +2) = -4 (x-1)^2 - 8
The min or max point is where the squared part = 0
So when x=1 , y= -4*0-8=-8
This will be the max of the parabola as there is - for the highest factor (-4x^2)
The max: x=1, y= -8
