So first you take 5% of 420 and you get 21. Then you subtract the 5% (21) from 420 and you get 399. So, Slytherin got a 399 points! Hope I helped and also I love Harry Potter so much, so this question caught my eye, lol! :P

trapecia [35]
The equation we are looking at would have to be divided by 2 first.
x²-6x+3
When looking at that, I can tell that 1 may be the possible answer since you would have to subtract 6 from both sides. That would leave a 3. Let's check.
(x-3)(x-3)
x²-6x+9=6
Now subtract 6 from both sides.
x²-6x+3=0
So, 1- (x-3)²=6 would be used.

What is the graph of the function f(x) = -x^2+x+20/x+4
mr_godi [17]
F(x) = (-x²+x+20) / (x+4)

-x²+x+20     | x+4
+x²+4x          -x+5
 \\\\ 5x+20
     -5x-20
      \\\\\\\\\
 
 f(x) = (x+4)(-x+5) / (x+4)
 
 f(x) = (-x+5)

The graph is a decreasing line, with origin from 5.
