Which of the following is an example of a valid use of the multiplication property of equality? a. to isolate s in the equation s – 4 = –12, divide both sides of the equation by b. to isolate s in the equation s – 4 = –12, multiply both sides of the equation by c. to isolate s in the equation –4s = –12, divide both sides of the equation by d. to isolate s in the equation –4s = –12, multiply both sides of the equation by

D. to isolate s in the equation –4s = –12, multiply both sides of the equation by -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a set of an example of equations; we need to study the use of multiplication property of equality.

A. to isolate s in the equation s – 4 = –12, divide both sides of the equation by.In this sentence, to isolate s we do not need multiplication only addition and subtraction.

B. to isolate s in the equation s – 4 = –12, multiply both sides of the equation by. In this sentence, to isolate s we do not need multiplication only addition and subtraction.

C. to isolate s in the equation –4s = –12, divide both sides of the equation by -4. This sentence is correct, and it uses division. However, we are studying multiplication property not division.

D. to isolate s in the equation –4s = –12, multiply both sides of the equation by -1. Firstly, it is a good idea to change both negative signs to positive by multiplying by -1 to isolate s.

Finally, we can conclude that a valid use of the multiplication property of equality is D. to isolate s in the equation –4s = –12, multiply both sides of the equation by -1. 

The simplest parabola is y = x2, whose graph is shown at the right. The graph passes through the origin (0,0), and is contained in Quadrants I and II.

This graph is known as the "Parent Function" for parabolas, or quadratic functions. All other parabolas, or quadratic functions, can be obtained from this graph by one or more transformations.
