Perform the operation in the choices to determine the coefficients of the terms.

(Addition)            -4x - 1 + 2x + 4    = -2x + 3
(Subtraction)       -4x - 1 - (2x + 4)  = -6x - 5
(Multiplication)    (-4x - 1)(2x + 4)   = -8x² -18x -4

Thus, the answer is multiplication as it gives a numerical coefficient equal to -18.

 1.  As M is the midsegment  JM / JK = 1/2 

By similar triangles  JM/JK = 1/2 = x / 12

2x = 12  so x = 6 answer


2.    By the same reasoning as above

  x / (x + 9 )  =  8.5 / 17  = 1/2
2x = x + 9
x = 9  

Answer x = 9

(2, .5) is on the graph of the function f(x) = ax^2. Find the value of a.
andrezito [222]

Answer:

a = 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

2 is the x value and y =.5

Substitute this into the equation

f(x) = ax^2

.5 = a(2)^2

.5 = a 4

Divide each side by 4

.5/4 = 4a/4

1/8 = a
