Ok, first put in the -2 for each b. That gives:
|-4(-2)-8|+|-1(-(-2))^2|+2(-2)^3
Let's do each section.
The first section is |-4(-2)-8)|
-4 times -2 is 8, minus 8 is 0. The absolute value of 0 is still 0.
Now we move on to |-1(-(-2))^2)|
First we do exponents
-(-2) is 2, and 2^2 is 4. 4 times -1 is -4. The absolute value of -4 is 4
Now the last section, 2(-2)^3
Exponents first: (-2)^3 is -2 * -2 * -2, which is -8.
-8*2=-16.
0+4+(-16)=-12
Answer:
12/45
Step-by-step explanation:
The unit rate is 12/45, because 4 times 3 is 12, and 9 times 5 is 45.
Hello!
To find the maximum value of the function f(x) = -3(x - 10)(x - 4), the easiest way is to find the vertex using the formula: x = -b/2a.
Firstly, we need to simplify f(x).
f(x) = -3(x - 10)(x - 4)
f(x) = -3(x² - 14x + 40)
f(x) = -3x² + 42x + -120
Since the equation f(x) is now simplified to standard form, we can find the vertex.
a = -3, b = 42, and c = -120
x = -(42)/2(-3) = -42/-6 = 7
Then, we substitute 7 into the the function f(x) = -3(x - 10)(x - 4), or
f(x) = -3x² + 42x + -120, to find the y-value of the vertex.
f(x) = -3(7 - 10)(7 - 4)
f(x) = -3(-3)(4)
f(x) = 27
The vertex of f(x) is (7, 27).
Therefore, the maximum x-value for the function f(x) is 7.
