A set of equation can be set up:
a=b+15
3(a+b)=345
where a is the faster and b is the slower bus.
substitute b+15 into the second equation, so 6b+45=345, and 6b=300, therefore b=50.
we can then figure out that a=65

The faster bus can be expressed with
x+15=y
where x is the rate of the slower bus and y is the rate of the faster bus.
The buses travel for 3 hours, 345 miles apart. 
So it becomes
3y + 3x = 345
Substitute in the value for y with x+15 and you get
3(x+15) + 3x = 345
And afterwards, you just solve for x (WORK)
3x + 45 + 3x = 345 (Distribution)
6x + 45 = 345 (Combine like terms)
6x = 300 (Subtraction)
x = 50 (Division)
The rate of the slower bus is 50 mph, and plug it in for the equation for the faster bus.
x + 15 = y
(50) + 15 = y
y = 65
The rate of the faster bus if 65 mph.

D. 
slope = -3
passing thru(4,3)
 y = mx + b
3 = -3(4) + b
b = 15

equation
y = -3x + 15

E.
(4,5)(6,9)
slope = (9-5)/(6-4) = 4/2 = 2
passing thru (4,5)(6,9)
y = mx + b
5 = 2(4) + b
b = -3

equation
y = 2x - 3

Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

By counting the height ( frequency ) of each block and adding gives the number of students in total

20 - 24 → 5

24 - 28 → 6

28 - 32 → 5

32 - 36 → 2

36 - 40 → 7

Total = 5 + 6 + 5 + 2 + 7 = 25

Write the equation of the following graph in vertex form.
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Correct choice is 2. f(x)=0.4(x+2)(x-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a graph of the quadratic function. Now we need to use that graph to find the equation of the graph in vertex form. By the way given choices written in intercept form so to be accurate we are going to find the equation in intercept form.

from graph we see that x-intercepts are at 5 and -2.

we know that if x=a is x-intercept then (x-a) must be factor.

So (x+2)(x-5) is the factor.

when leading coefficient is positive then graph opens upward.

so that means leading coefficient is 0.4

Hence correct choice is 2. f(x)=0.4(x+2)(x-5)
