Answer:
f(-4) = 72, f(x + 5) = 3x² + 23x + 36
Step-by-step explanation:
f(-4) = 3(-4)² - 7(-4) - 4
= 48 - (-28) - 4
f(-4) = 72
f(x + 5) = 3(x + 5)² - 7(x + 5) - 4
= 3(x + 5)(x + 5) - 7(x + 5) - 4
= 3(x² + 10x + 25) - 7(x + 5) - 4
= 3x² + 30x + 75 - 7x - 35 - 4
f(x + 5) = 3x² + 23x + 36
52-24=28 books were nonfiction
You must get the ratio if nonfiction to fiction
28/24= 7/6
If a 12 oz bottle of shampoo lasted for 16 weeks, we have a ratio of 12:16 which can be shortened to 3:4.
Now if we have 18 oz bottle we know that it's 1/2 more than 12 oz bottle, so the ratio will be also 1/2 more. So if it was 12:16, the new ratio will be:
12 + (1/2 * 12) : 16 + (1/2 * 16)
12 + 6 : 16 + 8
18 : 24
It means that 18 oz bottle should last for 24 weeks. Of course the ratio has to stay the same in its lowest form in both situations and as 18:24 can be shortened to 3:4, it proves it's correct :)
For me personally, the easiest way to do this is by isolating the x² term, and finding the square root of both sides. The hardest way (well actually, the longest way) would be to use the quadratic formula. It just complicates things unnecessarily.
