Given equation : y=ax^2 
Taking a to the other side we have, x^2=(1/a)*y
 This equation describes a parabola that opens up.
 When a is negative, the focus is on the negative y-axis, therefore, the parabola opens down.
 The answer is a. down.

V+2/v + 4/3v =11<br> How to solve this ?
Goshia [24]

Answer:

0.189

4.525

Step-by-step explanation:

v/1 + 2/v + 4v/3 = 11

we can eliminate denominators if we distribute 3v to each term:

3v(v/1 + 2/v + 4v/3) = 3v(11)

3v² + 6 + 4v² = 33v

7v² - 33v + 6 = 0

factor this trinomial:

there are no factors of 6 that would add to -33 so we can use the quadratic formula to solve:  (-b ± √b²-4ac) / 2a

a = 7

b = -33

c = 6

[33 ± √(-33)² - 4(7)(6)] / 2(7)

(33 ± √1089 - 168) / 14

(33 ± √921) / 14

(33 ± 30.35) / 14

(33+30.35) / 14 =  4.525

(33-30.35) / 14 =  0.189

The current cost of gourmet coffee Is $14 per pound At the corner market the cost has increased 10% Per year over the past few y
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

$11.57

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the price of the coffee two years ago by X.

The price increased 10% per year (that is, the price is multiplied by 1+0.1=1.1) over two years, so the current price is:

X * 1.10 * 1.10 = X * 1.21

If the current price is $14, we have that:

X * 1.21 = 14

X = 14/1.21 =  11.57

The price of the coffee two years ago was $11.57
