Answer: 2</h3>
=========================================================
Explanation:
The function f(x) = -4x+1 is the same as y = -4x+1 where y = f(x)
Compare this to y = mx+b and we see the slope here is m = -4
---------
Now let's find the slope of g(x)
use the slope formula with any two rows you want. I'll pick on the last two rows.
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (21-9)/(3-1)
m = 12/2
m = 6 is the slope of g(x)
---------
From here, we add the two slope values
(slope of f)+(slope of g) = -4+6 = 2
Combining the like terms, the simplified polynomials are given as follows:
a) 4x² - 14x + 17
b) -5x² - 20x + 8
<h3>How are polynomials simplified?</h3>
Polynomials are simplified combining the like terms, that is, adding these numbers with the same variable.
Item a:
4(x - 2)(x + 1) - 5(2x - 5)
Applying the distributive property:
4(x² - x - 2) - 10x + 25
4x² - 4x - 8 - 10x + 25
Combining the like terms:
4x² - 4x - 10x - 8 + 25
4x² - 14x + 17
Item b:
-5(x + 2)² + 28
-5(x² + 4x + 4) + 28
-5x² - 20x - 20 + 28
-5x² - 20x + 8

Answer:
Find every possibility in which she has 2 matching letters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since each min is 60 seconds you multiply 60 by the number of minutes which is 7 and you get 420:
60x7=420 Then you add 30 seconds equaling 450 seconds total
Then you divide 450 by 4 since she ran 4 laps.
So, Stephanie ran 112.5 seconds per lap
