Answer:

  a) maximum; the parabola opens downward

  b) positive; it must lie above the x-axis

  c) x = 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-intercepts of a function are the points where the graph of the function crosses the x-axis. The y-values there are zero.

The "differences" of a function are related to the average slope between adjacent points. Second differences are related to the rate of change of the slope of the function. When <em>second differences are negative</em>, as here, the slope of the quadratic function is decreasing, becoming more negative. We say the <em>curvature</em> of the function is <em>negatve</em>, and that it <em>opens downward</em>.

__

<h3>a, b.</h3>

If the graph of the parabola opens downward, and it crosses the x-axis, it must have a <em>maximum</em> that is a <em>positive value of y</em>.

__

<h3>c.</h3>

The graph of a parabola is symmetrical about its vertex. That means points on the same horizontal line are the same distance from the line of symmetry, which must go through the vertex. The x-coordinate of the vertex will be the x-coordinate of the midpoint between the two x-intercepts:

  x = (-2 +5)/2 = 3/2

The x-coordinate of the vertex is x = 1.5.

______

<em>Additional comment</em>

The attachment shows a table with three evenly-spaced points on the curve. The calculations show first differences (d1) and second differences (d2). You can see that the sign of the second diffference is negative, in agreement with the given conditions.

Sam has traveled 33 miles and knows that 55% of his trip is complete.How many total miles is Sam's trip?
ahrayia [7]
60 miles in total.
to find percentages, you divide the part by the whole, so 33/60 = .55, which you then move the decimal over two places and read as a percentage

Can someone please explain with answer?
ira [324]

Using: A^2+b^2=c^2

A&b= (√10)^2=10

10+10=c^2

20=c^2

(take the square root of 20)

c=2√5

Your answer is D

Hello there!

|a - b| - |c + d|

|-5 - 4| - |1 +(-3)|

=|-5 - 4| - |1 - 3|

= |-9| - |-2|

Solve for the absolute value

= 9 - 2

= 7

Compute<br><br> 8*4-4 divided by 2 +1
iragen [17]

Solution of 8 x 4 - 4 divided by 2 +1 is 9.33

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that,

8 x 4 - 4 divided by 2 +1

We have to compute the above equation

Let us write the given sentence mathematically:

\rightarrow \frac{8 \times 4-4}{2 + 1}

Let us BODMAS rule to solve the above expression

According to Bodmas rule, if an expression contains brackets ((), {}, []) we have to first solve or simplify the bracket followed by of (powers and roots etc.), then division, multiplication, addition and subtraction from left to right.

So let us first perform multiplication of 8 and 4 in numerator

\rightarrow \frac{32 - 4}{2 + 1}

Now we can perform addition of 2 and 1 in denominator

\rightarrow \frac{32-4}{3}

Now we can perform subtraction of 4 from 32 in numerator

\rightarrow \frac{28}{3}

Now perform division of 28 by 3

\rightarrow \frac{28}{3} = 9.33

Thus solution of 8 x 4 - 4 divided by 2 +1 is 9.33
