Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We want to simplify:

We rewrite the expression under the radical sign to obtain:

We split the expression under the radical sign to get:

Recall that:

This implies that:

Therefore 
Since the 37 is negative the parabola will open downward.
The coefficient on the outside of the ^2 tells you if it opens up or down. If it's positive it opens upward and if it's negative it opens downward.
For the parabola to open sideways it would be a form of x = y^2
Only like sedans: 25- 15 = 10
Only like hatchbacks: 40-15 = 25
Like both: 15
Like none of them: 100-10-25-15 = 50
Dislike sedans: 100 - 10-15 = 75
Dislike hatchbacks: 100-25-15 = 60
So dislikes: sedans>hatchbacks
Answer:
In bold.
Step-by-step explanation:
6/6 = 9/a
So a = 9.
6/c = a/4.5
6/c = 9/4.5 = 2
So c = 3.
By similar triangles:
d/5 = 6/ (6+6+3)
d/5 = 6/15 = 2/5
So d = 2.
Also by similar triangles
b/5 = 12/15 = 4/5
So b = 4.
