We have the following number:
23.5
This number can be written as:
23 + 0.5
Or:
23 + 1/2
So, the new expression gives us two new numbers. In this way, we can say that:
23 = Twenty three
1/2 = a half
In conclusion, the number 23.5 can be written as follows:
<em>23.5 = Twenty three and a half</em>

Answer:
maximum: 8; no minimum
Step-by-step explanation:
A graph can be useful. I find a graphing calculator handy. It shows the maximum of the function is f(-1) = 8. Since the parabola goes to -∞ for large values of x, there is no minimum.
maximum: 8
__
You can also find the maximum by putting the function in vertex form.
-3(x^2 +2x) +5 . . . . factor the leading coefficient from the x terms
-3(x^2 +2x +1) +5 -(-3)(1) . . . . add the square of half the x-coefficient, subtract the equivalent amount
-3(x +1)^2 +8 . . . . . . the vertex form of the expression for f(x)
This form is ...
a(x -h)^2 +k . . . . . with a=-3, h=-1, k=8
so the vertex is (h, k) = (-1, 8) -- the same as shown on the graph. The negative value of 'a' tells you the parabola opens downward, so the vertex is the maximum. The maximum is 8 at x = -1.
Answer:
Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
To form a triangle : The sum of any two side lengths must be bigger than then the third side length and their difference smaller than the third side length.
19.6 + 1.6 > 18.7
19.6 - 1.6 < 18.7 and so on.
Answer:
The coordinates of EF are E(5,-4) and F(1,-4).
The line segment EF is in QIV
Step-by-step explanation:
The line segment AB has vertices at: A(-4,5) and B(-4,1).
We apply the rule
to reflect AB in the y-axis to obtain CD.


We apply the rule
to rotate CD 90 degrees clockwise about the origin to obtain EF.


The coordinates of EF are E(5,-4) and F(1,-4).
