ab + ac + ad is the same as a(b + c + d) according to the distributive property
-2x+3=15
Subtract 3 from both sides:
-2x=12
Divide -2 from both sides:
X=-16 is your answer
Consider the attached ellipse. Let the sun be at the right focus. Then perihelion is at right vertex on the x-axis and aphelion is at the left vertex on the x-axis.
The distances:
- from perihelion to the sun in terms of ellipse is a-c;
- from aphelion to the sun in terms of ellipse is a+c.
Then

Add these two equations:
and subtract first equation from the second:
Note that
thus

The equation for the planet's orbit is

Based on the points on the graph, the correct matches are:
- A - (-4, -2).
- B - .(2, -4)
- C - (4, -2).
- D - (2, 5)
- E - (-1, 1)
- F - (-5, 0)
- G - (4, 2)
- H - (0, -5)
<h3>How are points located on a graph?</h3>
To find a point, you need to look at the x-axis first and then the y-axis.
Find where the point is located on the x-axis, and then look for where the point intersects with the y-axis point.
For instance, the point A is located at (-4, -2) so look at the -4 point on the x axis, then go down to the -2 point on the y-axis. You'll find point A.

<u>End behavior: </u>
The parent function is: f(x) = x³, which starts (from the left side) at -∞ and ends (on the right side) at +∞.
<u>Zeroes:</u>
f(x) = x³ + 2x² - 8x
0 = x³ + 2x² - 8x
0 = x(x² + 2x - 8)
0 = x(x + 4)(x - 2)
0 = x 0 = x + 4 0 = x - 2
x = 0 x = -4 x = 2
<u>Intervals:</u>
Put the zeroes in order: -4, 0, 2
since f(x) is increasing from the left then the interval from -4 to 0 is positive and the interval from 0 to 2 is negative.
