Answer:
Equation: 
Solve for n: n = 112
Step-by-step explanation:
To first set up the equation, you need to look at the verbal description and translate into numbers and operations:
'three fourths a number' = 
'plus 8' = + 8
'is' =
'20 less' = - 20
'the number' = n
Put the expressions together:
'three fourths a number plus 8': 
'20 less than the number': n - 20
Set them equal to each other and solve:
Add 20 to both sides: 
Subtract 
from both sides: 
Multiply both sides by 
: 
Solve for n: n = 112
You can find the complementary angle for 28° first, which is 90°-28°=62°. Since this is a right triangle, you can then use trigonometry to find x (the hypotenuse). You have the angle and the adjacent side, so plug and play:
cos 62° = 350 / x
x = 350 / cos 62°
x = 745.5 ft
(y_final-y_start)/(x_final-x_start) always! :) that easy
(-6-2)/(2-0) = -4
You probably know that if the interval was pretty small, between 0 and 0.0001, it would take you to the concept of slope and derivatives, but average change is just ignoring anything in between x=0, and x=2 (it could go up/down million times, and still the answer would be -4)
hope it helps
Answer:
The maximum is -3
Step-by-step explanation:
A parabola that opens down (- in front), the vertex represents the highest point on the graph, or the maximum value.
The vertex of the equation is (-7,-3)
So, the maximum y value is -3
