Combine like terms to simplify the expression below 5y - 8x - y + 12x

4y + 4x

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4 terms in the equation 5y - 8x - y + 12x: 5y, -8x, -y, and 12x. WE have to add like terms to make a simplified equation. 5y and -y are alike, as are -8x and 12x. Subtract 1y from 5y to get 4y. Add 12x to -8x to get +4x. As a result, the expression becomes 4y + 4x.

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.
