Answer:

-8x+12

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You need to distribute the (-1) from outside the bracket onto all the terms in the bracket, which includes (8x) and (-12). If there is a minus outside the bracket and one minus in the bracket, the operation would be a plus and vice versa. If there is a minus outside the bracket and one plus in the bracket, the operation would be a minus and vice versa.

- (8x - 12) = (-1) × (8x) + (-1) × (-12)

= -8x + (+12)

= -8x + 12

Write the formula for the parabola that has x- intercepts (3,0) and (8,0), and y- intercept (0,−2)

alexira [117]

Answer: $x^2-5x=-12(y+2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Parabola has x-intercept has $(3,0)$ and $(8,0)$

and Y-intercept as $(0,-2)$

Now the general equation of parabola is

$y=ax^2+bx+c\quad \ldots(i)$

Substitute $(0,-2)$ in $(i)$ we get

$-2=c$

Now substitute $(3,0)$ in equation $(i)$

$0=a(3)^2+3b-2\quad \ldots(ii)$

Now substitute $(8,0)$ in equation $(i)$

$0=a(8)^2+8b-2\quad \ldots(iii)$

Solving $(ii)$ and $(iii)$ we get

$a=\frac{-1}{12}\ \text{and}\ b=\frac{5}{12}$

therefore

$y=\frac{-x^2}{12}+\frac{5x}{12}-2$

$12y=-x^2+5x-24$
