Answer:
The number that goes in place of the question mark is 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve it!
3x² + 12x - 24 = 0
First we can factor 3 out of each term:
x² + 4x - 8 = 0
Now we'll add 12 to both sides to complete the square:
x² + 4x + 4 = 12
And finish it off:
(x + 2)² = 12
So the answer to the question is 2
Bonus:
We can also now solve this for x:
(x + 2)² = 12
x = √12 - 2
x = 2√3 - 2
x ≈ 2 × ±1.732 - 2
x ≈ 1.464, -5.464
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Vertex form:
where:
is the vertex
is some constant
Given:
- vertex = (-4, -1)
- point on parabola = (-2, -3)
Substitute given values into the formula to find
:





Therefore, the equation of the parabola is:

Answer is D.) 48π ft²
Given:
3 circular rugs.
radius: 4 ft
Area of a circle = π r²
A = 3.14 * (4ft)²
A = 3.14 * 16ft²
A = 50.24 ft²
Total area of 3 rugs
50.24 ft² * 3 rugs = 150.72 ft²
Equation leaving π.
150.72ft² ÷ 3.14 = 48ft²
D.) 48π ft²
A) Increase. This is because the mean of the first two cars is smaller than the mean of all three cars.
b) Cannot be determined. Need more values.
c) Cannot be determined. Need more values.
