Jim can make 2 cupcakes (the y value) with one cup of flour (the x value). How many cupcakes can he make with 5 cups of flour?

answer: x=1

step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = g(x)

x - 2 = -1

x = 1

therefore the graph should be a line showing x=1 which is vertical and passes on 1

hope it !

(a) x intercepts: -6 and 2

you can obtain these by solving the equation 0=x^2 +4x-12 using your favorite quadratic formula. but it is easy to verify -6 and 2 indeed satisfy this equation.

(b) y intercept: -12

this is obtained by setting x=0: 0^2+4*0-12 = -12

(c) the minimum value is: -16 (this is the vertex)

you can get the vertex by rewriting the equation into the form:

there is no global or local maximum as the function goes to infinity, so only in the limit sense: +infinity.
