The sum of two numbers is eight. Using y to represent the smaller number, translate "three times the larger number" into a variable expression and thenuh
simplify.

24 - 3y

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the sum of the two numbers is 8, the larger number is 8 - y.

Three times the larger number: 3 (8 - y).

Simplify using Distributive property: 3 (8 - y) = 24 - 3y.

So the answer is 24 - 3y

answer: 25.4 units

step-by-step explanation: radius = 12.7 units

diameter = twice the radius

diameter = 12.7 x 2

= 25.4

if the eqn of the parabola is f(x) = (x-4)(x+2), we need to mult. this out to find the coordinates of the vertex.

then f(x) = x^2 + 2x - 4x - 8, and f(x) = x^2 - 2x - 8.

one way in which you can find the vertex is to calculate x = -b / (2a).   here, that comes to

        )

x = = 1.   f(1) = 1^2 - 2(1) - 8 = - 9.   vertex is at (1, -9).

        2(1) 

find another point on the curve:   let x=0, for which y=-8.   then (0, -8) is on the curve.   plot the vertex and this point and draw a smooth parabola thru both.

hope this
