Answer:
2.75 and -2.75
Step-by-step explanation:
The absolute value of 2.75 is 2.75 and the absolute value of -2.75 is 2.75
3(x-1)=2x+5
3x-3=2x+5
3x-2x=3+5
x=8
Answer:
f(x) = -2x² - 8x - 2
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>
Vertex Form: f(x) = -2(x + 2)² + 6
<u>Step 2: Find Standard Form</u>
- Expand by FOILing: f(x) = -2(x² + 4x + 4) + 6
- Distribute -2: f(x) = -2x² - 8x - 8 + 6
- Combine like terms (constants): f(x) = -2x² - 8x - 2
