(-2)^4=16
(-2)^-1=-1/2
-1/2x16=-8
Answer: -8
Answer:
The equation for the axis of symmetry is x=1.5.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that a quadratic function passes through the points ( − 5 , − 8 ) and ( 8 , − 8 ) .
In the given points y-coordinates are same, i.e., -8. It means both the points lie on the horizontal line y=-8.
If a quadratic function passes through two points (a,c) and (b,c), then the equation for the axis of symmetry is

According to the given points a=-5, b=8 and c=-8. Put these value in the above formula.



Therefore the equation for the axis of symmetry is x=1.5.
Answer:
I think "D"- 3(x + 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
as 3 years ago - x
so present age of shilpa - x +3
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
present age of sindhu - 3 (x+3)
i guess : )
3.95*10^9 move the decimal to the left untill it is in between the last ans 2nd to last number
1/2 + 9/20 = 19/20
1/20 + 1/10 = 3/20
1/8 + 11/16 = 13/16
2/9 + 5/9 = 7/9
3/20 + 3/4 = 18/20 = 9/10
7/17 + 1/17 = 8/17
