Complete the square:
F(x) = -3x² - 6x - 5
F(x) = -3 (x² + 2x) - 5
F(x) = -3 (x² + 2x + 1 - 1) - 5
F(x) = -3 ((x + 1)² - 1) - 5
F(x) = -3 (x + 1)² + 3 - 5
F(x) = -3 (x + 1)² - 2
The y-intercept has x-coordinate equal to 0, so it corresponds to the value of F(0) :
F(0) = -3 (0 + 1)² - 2 = -3 - 2 = -5
The axis of symmetry is the vertical line running through the vertex of this parabola, so we'll come back to this.
The vertex of the parabola is (-1, -2). This represents the maximum value of F(x), which follows from
(x + 1)² ≥ 0 ⇒ -3 (x + 1)² ≤ 0 ⇒ -3 (x + 1)² - 2 ≤ -2
This is to say, every point on the parabola has a y-coordinate no greater than -2.
As mentioned earlier, the axis of symmetry is the vertical line through the vertex, and its equation is determined by the x-coordinate of the vertex. Hence the AoS is the line x = -1.
The correct answer is: [B]: " y = 9 " .

Answer:
-8 > b
Step-by-step explanation:
94<-2(1+6b)
Distribute
94<-2-12b
Add 2 to each side
94+2<-2-12b +2
96 < -12b
Divide each side by -12, remembering to flip the inequality since we divide by a negative
96/-12 > -12b/-12
-8 > b
18% because take the first digits of each number and put them together lol
An integer is a whole number. Sum means to add and since they are consecutive, there is only a difference of 1 between them.
1) 21 + 23: not consecutive
2) 23+24= 47: has to be at least 46
3) 22+23= 45: has to be at least 46
4) 24+25= 49: has to be at least 46
So we have two possibilities: either #2 or #4. Find least possible pair of integers.
x= first integer
x+1= second integer
x + (x+1) >= 46
2x + 1 >=46
2x>=45
x>=22.5
Answer:
The first integer has to be greater than or equal to 22.5. Since integers are whole numbers, round up to the next whole number. The least possible integers are #2) 23 and 24.
Hope this helps! :)
