Answer:
a = 4, p = 2, q = - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Expand the right side of the identity, then compare the coefficients of like terms with those on the left side.
a(x - p)² + q ← expand (x - p)² using FOIL
= a(x² - 2px + p²) + q ← distribute parenthesis
= ax² - 2apx + ap² + q
Compare coefficients of x² term
a = 4
Compare coefficients of x- term
- 2ap = - 16, that is
- 2(4)p = - 16
- 8p = - 16 ( divide both sides by - 8 )
p = 2
Compare constant terms
ap² + q = 15 , that is
4(2)² + q = 15
16 + q = 15 ( subtract 16 from both sides )
q = - 1
Thus a = 4, p = 2, q = - 1
Ht of ceiling = 10 ft which is two-thirds of living rm ceiling
Ht of living rm ceiling = 2/3x = 10 ft
2/3h = 10 ft
2/3h times 3/2 to solve for h = 10 times 3/2
h = 30/2
h = 15 ft
432 million 586000 in standard form is 432,586,000
The point-slope form:

m - slope
The formula of a slope:

We have the points (-2, 3) and (1, -3). Substitute:

The standard form: Ax + By = C. Convert:
<em>use distributive property</em>
<em>subtract 3 from both sides</em>
<em>add 2x to both sides</em>

Hey there,
% of students whom want to go to college = 52 / 100 x 100
= 52%
Hope this helps :))
