Determine the equation of the parabola shown in the diagram in factored form. (check picture below)

Mathematics

Answer:

(x+1)(x-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic in factored form is usually expressed as: a(x\pm a)(x \pm b) where the sign of a and b depends on the sign of the zero. And I said "usually" since sometimes the x will have a coefficient. Anyways in the quadratic there are two zeroes at x=-1 and x=3. This can be written as: a(x+1)(x-3). Notice how the signs are different? This is because when you plug in -1 as x you get a factor of (-1+1) which becomes 0 and it makes the entire thing zero since when you multiply by 0, you get 0. Same thing for the x-3 if you plug in x=3. Now a is in front and it can influence the stretch/compression. To find the value of a, you can take any point (except for the zeroes, because it will make the entire thing zero, and you can technically input anything in as a)

I'll use the point (1, -4) the vertex

-4 = a(1+1)(1-3)

-4 = a(2)(-2)

-4 = -4a

1 = a. So yeah the value of a is 1

So the equation is just: (x+1)(x-3)

In one game, the ratio of three-point baskets to three-point tries for one team was 3:8. If the team scored 27 points from three
nasty-shy [4]

Since we’ve been given a ratio, 3:8, we can convert that into a fraction and form an equation from it:

\frac{3}{8} = \frac{27/3}{?}

The reason the numerator on the second fraction is 27/3 is because the team scored 27 points, not 27 baskets.

Simplify (Also replace the ? with an unknown variable):

\frac{3}{8} = \frac{9}{n}

Cross multiply:

3*n = 9*8

Simplify:

3n = 72

Divide both sides by 3:

n = 24

The team had 33 three point tries, 9 successes, and 24 fails.

A shipping container will be used to transport several 100-kilogram crates across the country by rail. The greatest weight that
natulia [17]

Answer:

x ≤ 207 crates

Step-by-step explanation:

Greatest weight of the container = 27,500 kilograms

Weight of other shipment = 6,800 kilograms

Weight of a crate = 100 kilograms

Number of 100-kilogram crates that can be loaded into the shipping container = x

The inequality is

27,500 ≤ 6800 + 100x

27,500 - 6800 ≤ 100x

20,700 ≤ 100x

x ≤ 20,700 / 100

x ≤ 207 crates
