Expression
(5 x 2 + 2) ÷ 6
"3 less than twice 'x' " . . . . that's (2x - 3)
" 2 more than the quantity (3 x) " . . . . . that's (3x + 2)
Their product is
(2x - 3) (3x + 2) .
If you want to expand it to a single expression, perform the multiplication,
and you have
6x² - 5x - 6 .
X^2 -6x -8 is a parabola in ax^2 + bx + c form
The axis of symmetry is -b/2a = 3
The vertex is (3,f(3)) = (3,-17)
The x-intercept is f(x)= 0 where x=-1.123, 7.123
Graphing: it opens upwards
1500 total surveys sent
Returned: 245 + 173 + 185 + 92 = 695
