The general eaquation of a parabola in terms of its vertex is:
y = a(x - h)^2 + k
where the vertex point is (h, k)
therefore, an equation of a parabola with vertex (1, -2) is:
y = 5(x - 1)^2 - 2
Answer:
It is one-half the area of a rectangle with sides 4 units × 3 units
Step-by-step explanation:
One side of the triangle is on the line y = 2 between points x=2 and x=6. So, that side has length 6-2 = 4.
The opposite vertex has y-value 5, so is 3 units away from the line y = 2.
The area of the triangle can be considered to have a base of 4 and a height of 3. In the formula ...
A = (1/2)bh
we find the area to be ...
A = (1/2)×(4 units)×(3 units) . . . . triangle area
__
A rectangle's area is the product of its length and width. So, a rectangle that is 4 units by 3 units will have an area of ...
A = (4 units)×(3 units) . . . . rectangle area
Comparing the two area formulas, we see that the triangle area is 1/2 the area of the rectangle with sides 4 units × 3 units.
16 gal = 200 mi
X gal = 350
16/200 = X/350
Cross multiply divide
16(350) = 200(X) > 5600 = 200X
Solve for X
5600/28
X = 28
Answer: 240 people get the news from social media
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of the number of people who get their news from social media to the number of people who their news elsewhere is 3:7
Total ratio is the sum of the proportion of those that get their news from social media and those that got their news elsewhere.
It becomes 3+7 = 10
Total number of people in the town is 800
To determine the number of people that got their news from social media, we will divide the proportion of those that get their news from social media by the total ratio and multiply by the total number of people in the town. It becomes
3/10 × 800 = 240
Multiply 120 by 0.40 to get 40%:
120 x 0.40 = 48
So 48 is 40% of 120
