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

Answer:

a=1\\b=\frac{1}{16}\\\\c=\frac{1}{256}\\\\d=1\\e=\frac{4}{9}\\\\f=\frac{16}{81}

Step-by-step explanation:

For the orange table:

<em> </em>Substitute the corresponding values of <em>x</em> into the function f(x)=4^{-x}, then:

For a:

x=0

f(0)=4^0=1

For b:

x=2

f(x)=4^{-2}=\frac{1}{16}

For c:

x=4

f(x)=4^{-4}=\frac{1}{256}

For the blue table:

<em> </em>Substitute the corresponding values of <em>x</em> into the function g(x)=(\frac{2}{3})^x, then:

For d:

x=0

g(x)=(\frac{2}{3})^0=1

For e:

x=2

g(x)=(\frac{2}{3})^2=\frac{4}{9}

For f:

x=4

g(x)=(\frac{2}{3})^4=\frac{16}{81}

M(4,2) is the midpoint of RS. The coordinates of S are (6, 1). what are the coordinates of R?
nirvana33 [79]
Remark
You are using the midpoint formula. Instead of finding the midpoint, you are looking for one of the points, so you have to rearrange the formula a little bit.

Givens
Midpoint (4,2)
One endpoint (6,1)

Object
Find the other endpoint.

Formula
m(x,y) = (x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2)

Solution
Find the x value
4 = (6 + x2)/2    Multiply both sides by 2
4*2 = 6 + x2      Subtract 6 from both sides.
8 - 6 = x2
x2 = 2

Find the y value
2 = (1 + y2)/2    Multiply by 2
4 = 1 + y2          Subtract 1 from both sides.
4 - 1 = y2  
y2 = 3

Conclusion
R(x,y) = (2,3)
