Original Statement: If x = 3, then x^2 = 9 (true)
Converse: If x^2 = 9, then x = 3 (false; this is half the story and x = -3 must be included)
Since the converse isn't completely true, we can't combine the two statements to get a biconditional.
Answer:
24 walls per volunteers
Step-by-step explanation:
given that there are 864 walls and that there are 36 volunteers
if the walls are divided evenly over the 36 volunteers,
each volunteer would paint,
= 864 walls ÷ 36 volunteers
= 24 walls per volunteers
if we zero out f(x), namely make y = 0, we can get the roots or x-intercepts for this quadratic equation

now, the equation is in x-terms, meaning is a vertically opening parabola, so the axis of symmetry will be x = something, a vertical line.
well, we have two x-intercepts, one at -4 and another at 2, and the vertex is right half-way between those guys
-4------------(-1)------------2
so the vertex is at x=-1, namely the axis of symmetry is x = -1.
It is a function because each x value only has one y value
