Step-by-step explanation:
If x varies directly as the product of p and m, and inversely with y, the relation can be written ...
x = k(pm)/y . . . . where k is the constant of proportionality
__
This can be solved for k:
k = xy/pm
For the given values, the value of k is ...
k = (2)(4)/((0.5)(2)) = 8
Then the relation between the variables can be written ...
(xy)/(pm) = 8
Answer:
See the attachment for the points and line of interest.
Step-by-step explanation:
A graphing calculator or graphing utility can show you the curve.
For ax²+bx+c, the line of symmetry is x=-b/(2a). That is also the x-coordinate of the vertex. The y-intercept is the constant, the value of the function when x=0. The x-intercepts are the values of x that make f(x) = 0.
Here, those are x=4 and x=-2. You can factor f(x) as (x+2)(x-4). These values of x make the factors, and the function, zero.
