Answer: Because the a-value is negative.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
The vertex form of a quadratic equation is: y = a(x - h)² + k where
- "a" is the vertical stretch
- -a is a reflection over the x-axis
- h is the horizontal shift (positive = right, negative = left)
- k is the vertical shift (positive = up, negative = down)
Given: g(x) = - (x + 1)² - 3
↓
a= -1
Since the a-value is negative, the parabola will be reflected over the x-axis which will change the curve from (U-shaped) to (∩-shaped).
Stop copying the question, it's confusing
so 100 cookies and 20 brownies
what is the greatest number you can divide them both by?
find the GCF
factor them
100=2*2*5*5
20=2*2*5
so the GCF is the common group to both or 2*2*5 or 20
100/20=5
20/20=1
there are 20 groups, each wit 5 cookies and 1 brownie
20 groups
