Answer:
36.5 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
See attachment for the given data
Required
Which length is closest to 4.2lb
The given data is a linear dataset.
So, we start by calculating the slope (m)
Pick any two corresponding points from the table
So, we have:
So:
The linear equation is then calculated using:
This gives:
Open bracket
To get the length closest to 4.2lb,
we set 
Then solve for x
So, we have:
Collect like terms
Solve for x
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The first parabola has vertex (-1, 0) and y-intercept (0, 1).
We plug these values into the given vertex form equation of a parabola:
y - k = a(x - h)^2 becomes
y - 0 = a(x + 1)^2
Next, we subst. the coordinates of the y-intercept (0, 1) into the above, obtaining:
1 = a(0 + 1)^2, and from this we know that a = 1. Thus, the equation of the first parabola is
y = (x + 1)^2
Second parabola: We follow essentially the same approach. Identify the vertex and the two horizontal intercepts. They are:
vertex: (1, 4)
x-intercepts: (-1, 0) and (3, 0)
Subbing these values into y - k = a(x - h)^2, we obtain:
0 - 4 = a(3 - 1)^2, or
-4 = a(2)². This yields a = -1.
Then the desired equation of the parabola is
y - 4 = -(x - 1)^2
Since both are equivalent to y, the equations must be equivalent.
x^2-x-3= -3x+5
x^2+2x-8=0
(x+4)(x-2)=0
x=-4, x=2
Plug the values of x in to either equation
y=-3(-4)+5
y= 12+5
y=17
y= -3(2)+5
y=-6+5
y=-1
Final answer: (-4,17) and (2,-1)
"c" is the hypotenuse of the largest triangle, and "a" is that triangle's shortest side. Thus the ratio is
... (longest side)/(shortest side)
Since all the triangles in the figure are similar, to complete the proportion, you need to recognize the triangle that "a" is the longest side of, then find the shortest side of that triangle.
"a" is the longest side (hypotenuse) of the smallest triangle. The shortest side of that triangle is "r". So, your proportion is ...
... c/a = a/r
The appropriate choice is the 2nd one, ...
... r
