Answer:
1 and 7/16, or 23/16
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the common denominator, which is 16.
_____ + 1/16 = 24/16
subtract 1/16
______ = 24/16 - 1/16
______ = 23/16
1+7/16 = 23/16
The answer is B.) F and I
Answer:
I believe it is C) decreasing when x > -1
Step-by-step explanation:
If you plot all 3 points on a graph, you will notice that the parabola is facing downwards. This means that on the left side of the vertex, it is increasing (the y-value increases). On the right side of the vertex, it decreases (y-value decreases). Note that "decreasing" refers to the y values.
So, since the vertex's x-value is -1 (we know this from the point (-1, 2)), any x-value greater than -1 will be to the right of the vertex. For example, 0, 1, 2, 3, etc. are all greater x-values than -1, so they are all to the right of -1. Since they are on the right, that means the corresponding-values will be decreasing.
Therefore, when x > -1, the parabola is decreasing.
