The vertex-form equation is
y = a(x+1)² -16
Putting in the y-intercept values, we have
-15 = a(0+1)² -16
1 = a . . . . . . . . . . . add 16
Then the x-intercepts can be found where y=0.
0 = (x+1)² -16
16 = (x+1)²
±4 = x+1
x = -1 ± 4 =
{-5, 3}
Answer:
Each girl gets 2 1/2.
Step-by-step explanation:
5 is an odd number. If you take the 4 in it and split that in half then you have 2. Then take the extra 1 from the rest of 5 and split that in half.
2 1/2.

Work Shown:

where 
As the steps show above, the idea is to factor the radicand into smaller pieces where one of those pieces is the largest perfect square possible. In this case, 36 is the largest factor of 180 that's a perfect square. Then I used the rule
to break up the root.
The parenthesis used at the very end is to help separate the
from the
term. The "i" is not under the square root.
Time taken to drive to her grandparents house = 6 5/6 hours
We convert this mixed into improper fraction, we get = 41/6 hours
Time taken to drive to her grandparents house = 41/6 hours
Time taken to drive back = 8 2/9 hours
We convert this mixed into improper fraction, we get = 74/9 hours
Time taken to drive back = 74/9 hours
Difference between the two = 74/9 - 41/6 = (148-123)/18 = 25/18 hours = 1 7/18 hours
Therefore it took 1 7/18 hours longer to drive back.
