Select all the steps that you could use to subtract a negative fraction from a positive decimal. A. Subtract the absolute value of the decimal. B. Convert both numbers into fraction form. C. Convert both numbers into decimal form. D. Add the negative number to the positive number. E. Add the opposite of the negative number to the positive number.

the answers are A, D, and E

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.
