Critical thinking: a newspaper article reports the results of an election between 2 candidates. the article says that smith received 60% of the voted and that murphy received 1/3 of the votes. a reader writes in to complain that the article cannot be accurate. what reason might the reader have to say to this?

The reason why the article cannot be accurate is because there's only 2 candidates, that is, the 100% of all votes must be the sum of both candidate's both, and if we sum, we find that the percentages given don't represent the total 100%:

As you can see, the sum of both ratios don't result in 1, which means 100%. If we divide we have:

According to the article, both candidates only represent 93%, which is wrong, because they must represent 100%, because there's no other candidate.

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

i think it's ф or x=6,-6

step-by-step explanation:

-x^2=-36

x^2=-36

ф

or

if you mean by : -(x^2)=-36

it'll be: x^2=36

x=6,x=-6

hope it'll ! have a good day!

you for asking!
