Step-by-step explanation:
Given
5x + 2x + 2 = 9x + 4
9x - 5x - 2x = 2 - 4
9x - 7x = - 2
2x = - 2
x = - 2 / 2
Therefore x = -1.
Answer:
6:3:8
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to find the amount of:
Frogs= Joes has 6
Snakes= Joe has 3
Hamster= Joe has 8
So, the ratio of Joe's frogs and snakes to hamsters is 6: 8 : 3.
Hope that helped! :)

will be increasing on the intervals where

and decreasing wherever

. Local extrema occur when

and the sign of

changes to either side of that point.

is positive when

is between -4 and some number between -2 and -1, and also 2 (exclusive) and 4, so you can estimate that

is increasing on the intervals [-4, -2] and (2, 4].

is negative when

is between some number between -2 and -1, up to some number less than 2. So

is decreasing on the interval [-1, 1].
You then have two possible cases for extrema occurring. The sign of

changes for some

between -2 and -1, and again to either side of

.
Easy peasy
just subsitute I(x) for the x in the h(x) so
h(I(s))=-(2s+3)^2-4
distribute and simplify
h(I(s))=-(4s^2+12s+9)-4
h(I(s))=-4s^2-12s-9-4
h(I(s))=-4s^2-12s-13
Answer:
13
Step-by-step explanation:
8/2=16/4
=4
x-3=2.5*4
x=10+3
x=13
