May someone please help me? This is due today and I'm confused.

2(x - 8) = 2x - 16

2(-8) + x + x = -16 + 2x or 2x - 16

2(3x + 2) = 6x + 4

6x - 2(2x + 8) = 2x + 8

-2(-3x - 2) = 6x + 4

-2(-x + 8) = 2x + 16

-14 + 3 + 2(9) + 3x = 7 + 3x

2x + 2(2x + 2) = 6x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

I hope this helps!

#1 = 2x-16

#2=2(-8+x)

#3 i don't know

#4= 2(x-8)

#5=6x+4

#6=2x-16

#7=7+3x

#8=2(3x+2)

please lemme know if its correct

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
