X = 23
x - 7
(23) - 7 = 16
16 is your answer
hope this helps
Answer:
downwards
Step-by-step explanation:
the equation of a parabola in vertex form is
f(x) = a(x - h)² + k
where (h, k ) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier
• if a > 0 then parabola opens upwards
• if a < 0 then parabola opens downwards
for
f(x) = - 4(x - 3)² + 9 with a = - 4 < 0 , then
the parabola opens downwards
I set this up as an inequality,

. If you take the cubed root of 800, you get the lower bound of the side length, which is 9.2. Then I just worked my way up until I hit the first number that put me over a volume of 800. That number is 9.29, because 9.28 cubed is 799.1 (not high enough) and 9.29 cubed is 801.8. Therefore, the bounds of the sides exist within a conjunction:

. That's the best I could come up with to help on that one. Wasn't sure if there was another method you were taught at school. I just used common sense more than any rule.
The ninth term will be 71.
The best option is to multiply them together, there would be no value that is common between the two, (2m - 1)(2m + 5), and leave it in this form.
However, there is a second method.
Notice how between the two sits a difference of 6.
You can manipulate one of the fractions to render the same denominator and work from there.
