She worked 2 and 1/2 hours yesterday, and today she did 4 and 1/4 hours.

first off, let's check how many hours she worked total, and divide 54 by it.

so, first off, let's convert the mixed fractions to "improper" and add them up.

\bf \stackrel{mixed}{2\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{2\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{5}{2}}
\\\\\\
\stackrel{mixed}{4\frac{1}{4}}\implies \cfrac{4\cdot 4+1}{4}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{17}{4}}\\\\
-------------------------------

\bf \cfrac{5}{2}+\cfrac{17}{4}\impliedby \textit{our LCD will be 4}\implies \cfrac{(2\cdot 5)+(1\cdot 17)}{4}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{10+17}{4}\implies \cfrac{27}{4}\implies \stackrel{total~hours}{6\frac{3}{4}}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{\stackrel{wages}{54}}{\stackrel{hours}{6\frac{3}{4}}}\implies \cfrac{54}{\frac{27}{4}}\implies \cfrac{\frac{54}{1}}{\frac{27}{4}}\implies \cfrac{54}{1}\cdot \cfrac{4}{27}\implies \cfrac{216}{27}\implies 8~\frac{\$}{hr}

Which equation represents the equation of the parabola with focus (-3 3) and directrix y=7?
Artemon [7]

Answer:

The equation y=\frac{-x^2-6x+31}{8} represents the equation of the parabola with focus (-3, 3) and directrix y = 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of the parabola with focus (-3, 3) and directrix y = 7. We start by assuming a general point on the parabola (x, y).

Using the distance formula d = \sqrt {\left( {x_1 - x_2 } \right)^2 + \left( {y_1 - y_2 } \right)^2 }, we find that the distance between (x, y) is

\sqrt{(x+3)^2+(y-3)^2}

and the distance between (x, y) and the directrix y = 7 is

\sqrt{(y-7)^2}.

On the parabola, these distances are equal so, we solve for y:

\sqrt{(x+3)^2+(y-3)^2}=\sqrt{(y-7)^2}\\\\\left(\sqrt{\left(x+3\right)^2+\left(y-3\right)^2}\right)^2=\left(\sqrt{\left(y-7\right)^2}\right)^2\\\\x^2+6x+y^2+18-6y=\left(y-7\right)^2\\\\x^2+6x+y^2+18-6y=y^2-14y+49\\\\y=\frac{-x^2-6x+31}{8}

use the distributive property to remove parentheses. Simplify your answer as much as possible. 1/2(4y+7)
Anna007 [38]
1/2(4y+7)

Use the distributive property. a(b+c)= ab+ac 

1/2*4y= 2y

1/2*7= 3.5

2y+3.5 <---- simplified expression

I hope this helps!

The coordinate plane below represents a city. Points A through F are schools in the city. graph of coordinate plane. Point A is
Firlakuza [10]
Part A;
There are many system of inequalities that can be created such that only contain points C and F in the overlapping shaded regions.

Any system of inequalities which is satisfied by (2, 2) and (3, 4) but is not stisfied by <span>(-3, -4), (-4, 3), (1, -2) and (5, -4) can serve.

An example of such system of equation is
x > 0
y > 0
The system of equation above represent all the points in the first quadrant of the coordinate system.
The area above the x-axis and to the right of the y-axis is shaded.



Part 2:
It can be verified that points C and F are solutions to the system of inequalities above by substituting the coordinates of points C and F into the system of equations and see whether they are true.

Substituting C(2, 2) into the system we have:
2 > 0
2 > 0
as can be seen the two inequalities above are true, hence point C is a solution to the set of inequalities.


Part C:
Given that </span><span>Natalie can only attend a school in her designated zone and that Natalie's zone is defined by y < −2x + 2.

To identify the schools that Natalie is allowed to attend, we substitute the coordinates of the points A to F into the inequality defining Natalie's zone.

For point A(-3, -4): -4 < -2(-3) + 2; -4 < 6 + 2; -4 < 8 which is true

For point B(-4, 3): 3 < -2(-4) + 2; 3 < 8 + 2; 3 < 10 which is true

For point C(2, 2): 2 < -2(2) + 2; 2 < -4 + 2; 2 < -2 which is false

For point D(1, -2): -2 < -2(1) + 2; -2 < -2 + 2; -2 < 0 which is true

For point E(5, -4): -4 < -2(5) + 2; -4 < -10 + 2; -4 < -8 which is false

For point F(3, 4): 4 < -2(3) + 2; 4 < -6 + 2; 4 < -4 which is false

Therefore, the schools that Natalie is allowed to attend are the schools at point A, B and D.

one teacher wants to give each student 7/8 of a slice of pizza. If the teacher has 7 slices of pizza then how many students will
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

The teacher can hand out pizza to 8 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how many slices of pizza the teacher can hand out , you can divide 7 by 7/8 and round down the nearest whole number.

7 ÷ 7/8 = 8

8 is already a whole number. No need to round down.

The teacher can hand out pizza to 8 students.
