Jeremy and Arnold are working on a project for math class in which they are to identify the quadratic equation that represents a

rain gauge that sits off the ground. Graph each of the equations and then determine which one could represent the position of the rain catcher that sits above the ground. The x-axis represents the ground.

Answer:

The parabola generated by the expression :

y=x^2-2x+3

is the one that better represents a rain gauge above the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function:

a) y=x^2+11x+24

Direction of parabola: branches pointing up

Location of vertex relative to x-axis: below

So, the parabola doesn't depict a rain gauge off the ground

b) y=-x^2-6x-8

Direction of parabola: branches pointing down

Location of vertex relative to x-axis: above

So, the parabola doesn't depict a rain gauge off the ground

c) y=x^2-2x+3  

Direction of parabola: branches pointing up

Location of vertex relative to x-axis: two units above

So, the parabola depicts a rain gauge off the ground

d) y=x^2+4x+4

Direction of parabola: branches pointing up

Location of vertex relative to x-axis: right on the x-axis

So, the parabola doesn't depict a rain gauge off the ground (this is sitting on the ground)

e) y=3x^2+21x+30

Direction of parabola: branches pointing up

Location of vertex relative to x-axis:  below

So, the parabola doesn't depict a rain gauge off the ground

the area of the triangle below is 1/4 square meters. what is the length of the base. express your answer in simplest form
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given</u>,

Area of the triangle = 1/4 square meters

From the diagram,

Height = 2/5 m

<u>To find</u> : Length of the base

<u>Formula</u> : -

A = bh/2

Here,

A denotes Area

b denotes Base

h denotes Height

A = 1/4

h = 2/5

A = bh/2

Cross multiply,

A * 2 = bh

2A = bh

2 * (1/4) = b * (2/5)

(1 * 2)/4 = (b * 2)/5

2/4 = 2b/5

1/2 = 2b/5

Cross multiply,

1 * 5 = 2 * 2b

5 = 4b

b = 4/5 meters

Hence,

The length of the base is 4/5 meters.
