Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a parabola in vertex form is
y = a(x - h)² + k
where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier
Here (h, k) = (8, - 14), thus
y = a(x - 8)² - 14
To find a substitute (5, 13) into the equation
13 = a(5 - 8)² - 14
13 = a(- 3)² - 14
13 = 9a - 14 ( add 14 to both sides )
27 = 9a ( divide both sides by 9 )
a = 3
Thus
y = 3(x - 8)² - 14 → C
The dog will need about 8 cans for the next six days.
Let's factor the top and the bottom.
Top factors 4x + 20 = 4(x + 5)
Bottom x^2 + 2x - 15 = (x + 5)(x - 3)
The gcf is the largest value that will go into both the top and the bottom. In our problem the ONLY thing that will go into top and bottom is x + 5 so that is your GCF. (c)
