Answer:

Meanings of the numbers:

Most numbers represent an amount. Positive numbers represent above zero. Zero is the only number that does not represent an amount. It means nothing. When you go lower than nothing, you are in the negative numbers. Negative numbers represent absent values pretty much.

How I would use them in every day life:

I would use positive numbers to represent... maybe something I'm trying to get at a store. Ex: 4 bananas

I would use negative numbers to... maybe look at the temperature. Ex: -16 degrees Fahrenheit. Negative numbers are in temperature all the time.

Hope this helps! (^-^)

Punkt p (1;2k+1) należy do wykresu funkcji f(x)=-4x2+7. Oblicz k
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

k = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

English Translation

Find k if the point P (-1, 2k + 1) belongs to the graph of the function f (x) = - 4x^2 + 7.

The function is given as

y = f(x) = -4x² + 7

and point (-1, 2k+1) lies on the graph.

This point means that, at x = -1, y = 2k+1

y = -4x² + 7

Substituting the values in

2k + 1 = -4(-1)² + 7

2k + 1 = -4 + 7 = 3

2k = 3 - 1

2k = 2

k = 1

Hence, the point (-1, 2k+1) is (-1, 3)

To check,

y = -4x² + 7

3 = -4(-1)² + 7

3 = -4 + 7

3 = 3

So, this is truly correct.

Hope this Helps!!!

Derive the equation of the parabola with a focus at (-5,5) and a directix of y = -1
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

From any point (x, y) on the parabola the focus and directrix are equidistant

Using the distance formula

\sqrt{(x+5)^2+(y-5)^2} = | y + 1 |

Squaring both sides

(x + 5)² + (y - 5)² = (y + 1)^2 , that is

(y + 1)² = (x + 5)² + (y - 5)² ← subtract (y - 5)² from both sides

(y + 1)² - (y - 5)² = (x + 5)² ← expand left side and simplify

y² + 2y + 1 - y² + 10y - 25 = (x + 5)²

12y - 24 = (x + 5)² ← factor left side

12(y - 2) = (x + 5)² ← divide both sides by 12

y - 2 = \frac{1}{12} (x + 5)² ← add 2 to both sides

y = \frac{1}{12} (x + 5)² + 2

or

f(x) = \frac{1}{12} (x + 5)² + 2 → D

Which measurements for the capacity of the ice cream carton?
nalin [4]

Answer:

  • 1 cup
  • 1 gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

In retail grocery stores in the US, you can find ice cream packaged in sizes of 1 cup (half pint), 1 pint, 1 quart, 1/2 gallon, 1 gallon, and perhaps some odd sizes in between. For commercial purposes, ice cream may be packaged in tubs of 3- or 5-gallons or more.

1 teaspoon would be an unusually small size, and 1 mL is about 1/5 of a teaspoon. These quantities are somewhat smaller than would be considered a "serving" of ice cream, so would generally be of little practical use.

Solve for x. ​ −1.9=x/0.5 ​
Feliz [49]

-1.9 = x/.5  given equation

multiply both sides by .5

.5(-1.9) = x/(.5) *(.5)

-.95 = x



check: -1.9 = -.95/ .5
