<h3>Answer:  Table D</h3>

a = 8; b = 0; c = -8; parabola opens upward; y intercept at (0, -8)

=========================================================

Reason:

The given equation is the same as y = 8x^2 + 0x - 8

Compare this to y = ax^2+bx+c

We see that

  • a = 8
  • b = 0
  • c = -8

This rules out choice C because the a,b,c values don't match perfectly.

The parabola opens upward because a > 0, aka 'a' is positive. A positive 'a' value makes the parabola form a positive smile (in contrast to 'a' being negative to make a negative frown). This rules out choice A.

The y intercept always occurs when x = 0. Plug it in to get

y = 8x^2 - 8

y = 8(0)^2 - 8

y = -8

The y intercept is located at (x,y) = (0,-8). This rules out choice B.

---------------------

Summary:

We've found that

  • a = 8, b = 0, c = -8
  • parabola opens upward
  • y intercept is at (0,-8)

All of these help us determine why choice D is the answer.

Determine whether each set of side lengths could be the sides of a right triangle. Drag and drop each set of side lengths to the
Neko [114]

Answer:

  • 10.5cm,20.8cm,23.3cm — yes
  • 6cm, 22.9cm,20.1cm — no

Step-by-step explanation:

If the sides form a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the shorter two sides will equal the square of the longest side.

1. 10.5^2 + 20.8^2 = 23.3^2 . . . . . true algebraic statement; right triangle

__

2. 6^2 +20.1^2 = 440.01 ≠ 22.9^2 = 524.41 . . . . . this is an obtuse triangle

HELP ME Using the following equation, complete the square and find the center and radius of the circle:
IrinaK [193]

Answer: (-2,3), r=5\ \text{units}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

the equation is x^2+y^2+4x-6y-12=0

completing the square

\Rightarrow (x^2+2\times 2\times x+4-4)+(y^2-2\times3\times y+9-9)-12=0\\\Rightarrow (x^2+2\times 2\times x+4)+(y^2-2\times3\times y+9)-12-4-9=0\\\Rightarrow (x+2)^2+(y-3)^2=25\\\Rightarrow (x+2)^2+(y-3)^2=5^2\\\Rightarrow (x-(-2))^2+(y-3)^2=5^2

Thus, the center of the circle is (-2,3) and radius is r=5\ \text{units}

Starbucks reports net income for 2015 of $2,634.4 million. Its stockholders' equity is $5,605 million and $6,151 million for 201
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

A. 44.82%

B.

Option b. Return On Equity usually increases since the repurchase of shares reduces the denominator (avg. stockholders' equity)

C.

Option b. The Companies would tend to repurchase their own stock if they feel the stock is been undervalued by the market

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Computation for return on equity for 2015

Using this formula

Return on equity = The Net income amount /The Average stockholders' equity amount

Let plug in the formula

Return on equity=2,634.4/[(5,605+6,151)/2]

Return on equity=2,634.4/(11,756/2)

Return on equity=2,634.4/5,878

Return on equity=0.4482×100

Return on equity= 44.82%

b. In a situation where they repurchased over $1.4 billion of its common stock in the year 2015 this means that the RETURN ON EQUITY will usually tend to increases reason been that the repurchase of shares will often reduces the denominator (average stockholders' equity)

Therefore the repurchase increase Starbucks’ Return On Equity.

c. In a situation where Starbucks had not repurchased common stock in the year 2015, what their Return On Equity would have been is that they will repurchase their own stock if they feel the stock is been undervalued by the market
