Answer:

The graph of f(x) = |x| is a v-shape and doesn't cross over the x-axis.

The graph of g(x) = -1/2|x| is still a v-shape, but it's upside-down and a bit wider. This is because of the coefficient in front of the |x|. The negative sign flips the graph of |x| and the 1/2 makes the slope smaller, therefore the graph is less steep.

I've attached a picture of the two lines below!

Solve by completing the square x squared +14x - 51=0

$x^2 +14x - 51=0\\ \\\Delta = b^{2}-4ac =14^{2}-4*1*(-51)=196+204=400 \\ \\x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta }}{2a} =\frac{-14- \sqrt{400}}{2}=\frac{-14-20}{2}= \frac{-34}{2}=-17\\ \\x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta }}{2a} =\frac{-14+ \sqrt{400}}{2}=\frac{-14+20}{2}= \frac{6}{2}=3$

Step-by-step explanation:

if you mean that it went down from 0° to -131.5° in 42.5 hours, divide -131.5 by 42.5 (-131.5/42.5) which gives 3.09
