No, they are not equivalent because if you distribute the -0.5 in the expression -0.5(3x+5) you will get -1.5x-2.5 which is not the same as -1.5+2.5
Answer:
downwards
Step-by-step explanation:
the equation of a parabola in vertex form is
f(x) = a(x - h)² + k
where (h, k ) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier
• if a > 0 then parabola opens upwards
• if a < 0 then parabola opens downwards
for
f(x) = - 4(x - 3)² + 9 with a = - 4 < 0 , then
the parabola opens downwards
$ 1.85 you divide 22.20 by 12
324
Because you multiply 9 by 36
