II(RS is a median) and III(RS is a side of RST)
Answer:
y = (1/4)x² - (5/4)x + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The x-intercepts of the quadratic equation are simply it's roots.
Thus, we have;
(x + 1) = 0 and (x - 4) = 0
Now, formula for quadratic equation is;
y = ax² + bx + c
Where c is the y intercept.
At y-intercept: (0,1), we have;
At (-1,0), thus;
0 = a(1²) + b(1) + 1
a + b = -1 - - - (1)
At (4,0), thus;
0 = a(4²) + b(4) + 1
16a + 4b = -1
Divide both sides by 4 to get;
4a + b = -1/4 - - - (2)
From eq 1, b = -1 - a
Thus;
4a + (-1 - a) = -1/4
4a - 1 - a = -1/4
3a - 1 = -1/4
3a = 1 - 1/4
3a = 3/4
a = 1/4
b = -1 - 1/4
b = -5/4
Thus;
y = (1/4)x² - (5/4)x + 1
Answer: 4.1 feet : 4 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Bradley estimated the height of a tree at 2.5 meters. Carla estimated that tree's height at 8 feet.
The conversion ratio be used to compare Bradley's and Carla's estimates of the tree's height when measured in feet goes thus:
Since 1 feet = 0.305 meters
2.5 meters will be = 2.5/0.305 = 8.2 feet
Therefore the conversion ratio will be:.
= 8.2 : 8
Reducing to lowest term will be
= 4.1 feet : 4 feet.
= 4.1 : 4
Answer:
50%
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 8 tiles on the spinner, 4 of which are red.
4/8 = 1/2 - 50%
There is a 50% chance that the spinner will land on red.
