On a map, the length of a river is 4.75 in. the actual length of the river is 247 miles. what is the scale of the map?

answer:

step-by-step explanation:

y=35

x=5

step-by-step explanation:

answer: approximately 2.878

step-by-step explanation:

you multiply 11 and pi (3.14) then after you have 34.54. the final step is to divide by 12. the final answer is approximately 2.878

(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.
