The correct answer is ABSOLUTE ZERO. I just took the quiz myself and got it right.
Complete the square:
F(x) = -3x² - 6x - 5
F(x) = -3 (x² + 2x) - 5
F(x) = -3 (x² + 2x + 1 - 1) - 5
F(x) = -3 ((x + 1)² - 1) - 5
F(x) = -3 (x + 1)² + 3 - 5
F(x) = -3 (x + 1)² - 2
The y-intercept has x-coordinate equal to 0, so it corresponds to the value of F(0) :
F(0) = -3 (0 + 1)² - 2 = -3 - 2 = -5
The axis of symmetry is the vertical line running through the vertex of this parabola, so we'll come back to this.
The vertex of the parabola is (-1, -2). This represents the maximum value of F(x), which follows from
(x + 1)² ≥ 0 ⇒ -3 (x + 1)² ≤ 0 ⇒ -3 (x + 1)² - 2 ≤ -2
This is to say, every point on the parabola has a y-coordinate no greater than -2.
As mentioned earlier, the axis of symmetry is the vertical line through the vertex, and its equation is determined by the x-coordinate of the vertex. Hence the AoS is the line x = -1.
E. no solution. hope this helps! :)
Answer:
35% discount
Step-by-step explanation:
We can first find what percent of 32 20.80 is.
This can be shown by using a percent proportion.
We can cross multiply to find the value of 
.
So 20.80 is 65% of 32.
However, this is the percent of the original price. To find the discount, we have to subtract 65 from 100.
So the book was on a 35% discount.
Hope this helped!
The product is 60.
We start out with the information we have. This forms a right triangle, with one leg being 24, the other leg x, and the hypotenuse 30. Using the Pythagorean theorem we have
x²+24²=30²
x²+576=900
Subtract 576 from both sides:
x²+576-576 = 900-576
x²=324
Take the square root of each side:
√x²=√324
x=18
We know that the formula for the volume of a triangular prism is V=(1/2bh)H, where b is the base of the triangle, h is the height of the triangle, and H is the height of the prism. Substituting our known information we have:
720=(1/2*18*24)y
720=216y
Divide both sides by 216:
720/216 = 216y/216
3 1/3 = y
This means the product of x and y would be:
18(3 1/3)
18(10/3)
180/3
60
