Equation of parabola ==> (y-k) = a(x-h)²

To find te direction of this parabola, multiply both sides by (-1) ==>
1/4(y+4) - (x+3)². Since "a" is negative, the parabola opens downward & hence it's Vertex is a MAXIMUM.

Let's calculate this Maximum:
Vertex (h , k) and Axis of symmetry x=h

The given function: -1/4(y+4)=(x-3)², where k=- 4 & h= +3

Hence the axis of symmetry is x=3 & the vertex is at (3, -4)

First, convert the equation to the standard equation of a parabola.
-1/4(y+4)=(x-3)^2     ---multiply -4 on both sides   
y+4=-4(x-3)^2           ---subtract 4 on both sides
y=-4(x-3)^2-4
From the equation, we know that the parabola was moved by 3 to the right, because of (x-3)^2. So the axis of symmetry is x=3. Now look at the number in front of (x-3)^2. It is -4. Since it is negative, the parabola opens downwards.

Identify the volume of the composite figure rounded to the nearest tenth. HELP PLEASE!!
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

V = 115.3 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

The left part of the figure shows a cube of side length 4.2 ft.  The volume of a cube is V = s³, where s is the side length.  Hence, the volume of this particular cube is V = (4.2 ft)³ = 74.088.

The volume of a pyramid is V = (1/3)(base area)(height).

Here V = (1/3)(4.2 ft)²(7 ft) = 41.16 ft³.

Summing up the two distinct areas, we get V = 41.16 ft³ + 74.088 ft³, or

V = 115.3 ft³ after rounding up to the nearest tenth.

If the principal is $300 rate 3% time 4 years then what is the interest earned and the new balance
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

a) Interest earned = $36

New Balance  = $336

b) Interest rate  = 0.05 or 5%

New Balance = $517.5

c) time t = 5

New Balance = $612.5

d) Principal Amount = $675

New Balance =  $783

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

a) Principal (P) = $300

Rate (r) = 3% or 0.03

Time (t)= 4 years

Interest earned = ?

The formula used is: Simple \ Interest (I)= P\times r\times t

Putting values and finding interest

Simple \ Interest (I)= P\times r\times t\\Simple \ Interest (I)= 300\times 0.03\times 4\\Simple \ Interest (I)= 36

So, Interest earned = $36

New Balance = Principal + Interest = 300+36 = $336

b) a) Principal (P) = $300

Rate (r) = ?

Time (t)= 3 years

Interest earned = 67.50

The formula used is: Simple \ Interest (I)= P\times r\times t

Putting values and finding rate

Simple \ Interest (I)= P\times r\times t\\67.50= 450\times r\times 3\\67.50=1350\times r\\r=\frac{67.50}{1350}\\r=0.05 \ or \ 5\%

So, Interest rate  = 0.05 or 5%

New Balance = Principal + Interest = 450+67.50 = $517.5

c) Principal (P) = $500

Rate (r) = 4.5% or 0.045

Time (t)= ?

Interest earned = $112.50

The formula used is: Simple \ Interest (I)= P\times r\times t

Putting values and finding time

Simple \ Interest (I)= P\times r\times t\\112.50= 500\times 0.045\times t\\112.50=22.5 \times t\\t=\frac{112.50}{22.5}\\t=5

So, time t = 5

New Balance = Principal + Interest = 500+112.50 = $612.5

d) Principal (P) = ?

Rate (r) = 8% or 0.08

Time (t)= 2 years

Interest earned = 108.00

The formula used is: Simple \ Interest (I)= P\times r\times t

Putting values and finding Principal

Simple \ Interest (I)= P\times r\times t\\108=P\times 0.08 \times 2\\108=P\times 0.16\\P=\frac{108}{0.16}\\P=675

So, Principal Amount = $675

New Balance = Principal + Interest = 675+108 = $783

A binomial has been partially factored, as shown below:
sesenic [268]
Answer: x-6

Explanation: x^2 is a DOTS, or difference of two squares. 36 is a perfect square and x^2 is a perfect square, and you are finding the difference. Therefore, you can do (x+6)(x-6). This works with any number. If there was x^2-16, it could be factored to (x+4)(x-4)

WILL MARK BRAINLIST!!
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

66 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

the rectangle has an area of 48in. because 4x11 = 48. The triangles have a base of 6 because 12 ÷ 2=6. the formula for area of a triangle is BxHx1/2 and the height is 3in so 6x3= 18 and 18x1/2=9 and there is two triangles and the other has the same area. Then you add up the area of everything so 48+9+9 = 66
