Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

6 - 4x - x²

Since the coefficient of the x² term < 0 then parabola has a maximum vertex.

To find the x- coordinate of the vertex

x_{vertex} = - \frac{b}{2a}

with a = - 1 and b = - 4 , then

x_{vertex} = - \frac{-4}{-2} = - 2

The corresponding y- coordinate is found by substituting x = - 2 , that is

6 - 4(- 2) - (- 2)² = 6 + 8 - 4 = 10

vertex = (- 2, 10 )

The maximum value of the function is the y- coordinate of the vertex

Then maximum value is 10

Thus 6 - 4x - x² is never greater than 10

I NEED HELP IM IN CLASS RN PLEASEE HELP! WILL GIVE BRIANLIEST!
fgiga [73]

Answer:

y=x+12

Step-by-step explanation:

Well the slope is -4/-4 =1

We plug it into the formula, y=mx+b, but m=1

So it is y=1x+b

We know the points, so we plug y and x in which is:

-4=-4*4+b

-4=-16+b

b=12

So the point slope form of that is y=x+12

Given PA=13 in. and CB=15 in.<br><br> What is CA ?
alexandr1967 [171]

Triangles CPA and CPB are both right triangles. They share a leg, so that leg in one triangle is congruent to that leg in the other triangle. We are given that PA is congruent to PB by the hash marks on the diagram. Thus two legs and an included angle are congruent between the triangles.

... ∆CPA ≅ ∆CPB by the SAS postulate


Then side CA ≅ CB = 15 in, because corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent (CPCTC).


... CA is 15 in.
