Take x-2 and insert it into 2x^2 + 3x-2 where the x is located
2x^2 + 3x-2
2(x-2)^2 + 3(x-2)-2
Now work out 2(x-2)^2 + 3(x-2)-2 also follow PEMDAS
2(x-2)^2 + 3(x-2)-2
Since (x-2)^2 is an Exponent, lets work with that first and expand (x-2)^2.
(x-2)^2
(x -2)(x-2)
x^2 -4x + 4
Now Multiply that by 2 because we have that in 2(x-2)^2
(x-2)^2 = x^2 -4x + 4
2(x-2)^2 = 2(x^2 -4x + 4)
2(x^2 -4x + 4) = 2x^2 - 8x + 8
2x^2 - 8x + 8
Now that 2(x-2)^2 is done lets move on to 3(x-2).
Use the distributive property and distribute the 3
3(x-2) = 3x - 6
All that is left is the -2
Now lets put it all together
2(x-2)^2 + 3(x-2)-2
2x^2 - 8x + 8 + 3x - 6 - 2
Now combine all our like terms
2x^2 - 8x + 8 + 3x - 6 - 2
Combine: 2x^2 = 2x^2
Combine: -8x + 3x = -5x
Combine: 8 - 6 - 2 = 0
So all we have left is
2x^2 - 5x
Answer:
D. Up
Step-by-step explanation:
When a parabola has the form
, It is vertical (opens up or down).
Because the variable "x" is squared.
If "a" is positive, then the parabola opens up, but if it is negative, then the parabola opens down.
In this case you have the quadratic function:

Which can be rewritten as:
Therefore, it is vertical, because it has the form: 
You can observe that the value of "a" is:

Then, since "a" is positive, the parabola opens up.
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume you want the graph of ...

A graphing calculator or spreadsheet is useful for this.
__
You know cos(θ) = cos(-θ), so the graph is symmetrical about the x-axis. You can evaluate the function at a few points to find the general outline.
r at 0° = 8
r at 30° ≈ 7.05
r at 45° ≈ 6.19
r at 60° ≈ 5.33
r at 90° = 4
r at 120° = 3.2
r at 135° ≈ 2.96
r at 150° ≈ 2.79
r at 180° ≈ 2.67
Answer: 42
Step-by-step explanation:
if the bookstore has 64 copies,
yesterday it was sold 1/4 , so it was sold 64/4=16
today it was sold 1/8 from what remained, which is 6(see below)
64-16=48
48/8=6
the store has left 48-6=42
