Answer:

f(x) = -1(x+1)² + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = -x² - 2x + 8

This is a down-opening parabola. Put the equation into vertex form. The y-coordinate of the vertex is the maximum.

factor out the leading coefficient

f(x) = -1(x²+2x) + 8

Complete the square

 coefficient of x term: 2

 divide in half: 1

 square it: 1²

 use 1² to complete the square:

f(x) = -1(x²+2x+1²) + 1² + 8

f(x) = -1(x+1)² + 9

vertex (-1,9)

maximum value of f(x) = 9

Seven less than one-fourth of a number is 2. What is the number?
insens350 [35]

Based on the equation given, it can be deduced that the value of the number will be 36.

Let the number be represented by x

Therefore, seven less than one-fourth of a number will be:

=(1/4 × x) - 7

= 0.25x - 7

Now, seven less than one-fourth of a number is 2 will be written as:

0.25x - 7 = 2

0.25x = 2 + 7

0.25x = 9

x = 9/0.25

x = 36

Position to term rule of 2, 6, 10, 14, 18<br><br> multiply by _____ and subtract by _____
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sequence

2, 6, 10, 14, 18

An arithmetic sequence has a constant difference and is defined as

\:a_n=a_1+\left(n-1\right)d

compute the differences of all the adjacent terms

6-2=4,\:\quad \:10-6=4,\:\quad \:14-10=4,\:\quad \:18-14=4

The difference between all the adjacent terms is the same.

Thus,

d=4

and

a_1=2

Therefore, the nth term is computed by:

a_n=4\left(n-1\right)+2

a_n=4n-2

Thus, position to term rule of 2, 6, 10, 14, 18  multiply by __4___ and subtract by __2__.

boris currently has $1200 in his saving account.. he saves$25 per month.he saves the same amount each month and does no take any
Setler [38]
10 months. First you subtract what is already in possession from what they need: $1450-$1200= $250    Then you would divide how much money is left to earn by how much money is gained every year:  $250 divided by $25= 10 months    Hope this helps!!
