Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Q is the midpoint of PR,

PQ = QR

=> 3x + 2 = 7x - 18

=> 3x - 7x = -18 - 2

=> -4x = -20

=> x = -20/-4

=> x = 5

Based on the table, which best predicts the end<br> behavior of the graph of f(x)?

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

approaching negative infinity

Step-by-step explanation:

Since as x increases, the values of f(x) are approaching infinity, the function approaches negative infinity as the end behavior.

480 bottles because 300 divided by 5 is 60 so then you multiply 60 by 8 and you get 480!

A parabola has a focus of F(8.5,−4) and a directrix of x=9.5.

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

$-\frac{1}{2}y^2-4y+1=x$

Step-by-step explanation:

A parabola has a focus of F(8.5,−4) and a directrix of x=9.5.

General form of horizontal parabola is

$(y-k)^2=4p(x-h)$

the distance between directrix and focus is the value of p

so p = 8.5 - 9.5 = -0.5

Focus is (h+p , k), given focus is (8.5, -4)

So k = -4 and h+p = 8.5

we know p = -0.5

h +p = 8.5

h - 0.5 = 8.5

so h= 9 and k = -4

vertex is (h,k) that is (9, -4)

Now plug in the value in the general equation

$(y-k)^2=4p(x-h)$ , k= -4, h= 9 , p = -0.5

$(y+4)^2=4(-0.5)(x-9)$

$(y+4)^2=-2(x-9)$

$y^2+8y+16=-2x+18$

subtract 18 on both sides

$y^2+8y-2=-2x$

Divide whole equation by -2

$-\frac{1}{2}y^2-4y+1=x$
