The x-value of the vertex of the given parabola is x = 5, so the correct option is b.

<h3>How to get the x-value of the vertex?</h3>

If we define the parabola by f(x), by looking at the table, we can read:

f(2) = 8
f(6) = 2
f(8) = 8

So, notice that:

f(2) = f(8).

Then the x-coordinate of the vertex is the midpoint between 2 and 8.

x = (2 + 8)/2 = 5

The x-value of the vertex of the given parabola is x = 5, so the correct option is b.

Henry combines 7.49 litters of red paint with 6.26 litters of red paint and pours it in to 4 container with 0.43 litters of pain

11111nata11111 [884]

To find the answer we start by adding the contents of both containers together
7.49 + 6.26 = 13.75
Since we know that there is leftover paint we are going to subtract the leftovers from the total of combined paint
13.75 - 0.43 = 13.32
The combined paint is poured into 4 containers so we divide our combined total minus the leftovers by 4
13.32/4 = 3.33
Answer: There are 3.33 liters of paint in each container

What is the volume of this cylinder?

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

12762.72 cubic meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cylinder is denoted by the formula: $V=\pi r^{2} h$ , where r is the radius and h is the height.

Here, we see that the height h = 11.5 m. We also see that the diameter is 37.6 meters. Since diameter = 2 * radius, we can divide this number by 2 to get the radius: r = 37.6/2 = 18.8 meters.

Now substitute these values into the equation:

$V=\pi *(18.8^2)*11.5=3.14*(18.8^2)*11.5=12762.72$ cubic meters
