To solve
if you have |a|=b, solve a=b and a=-b
|4x+12|=16
solve
4x+12=16 and 4x+12=-16
minus 12 both sides
4x=4 and 4x=-28
divide both sides by 4
x=1 and x=-7
Since the 37 is negative the parabola will open downward.
The coefficient on the outside of the ^2 tells you if it opens up or down. If it's positive it opens upward and if it's negative it opens downward.
For the parabola to open sideways it would be a form of x = y^2
So, if the pizza is cut into 8 slices that would mean we just have to subtract 6 - 8 = 2 so your answer is 2/8 of the pizza is left
Hope this helped!
add them together then divide by 5
81 +86 +81 +76 +71 = 395
395/5 = 79
your average was 79
