16 squared = 256
14 squared = 196
256 + 196 = 452.
The range would only include positive integers.
Answer B
The standard form of a quadratic equation is
, while the vertex form is:
, where (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola.
What we want is to write
as
First, we note that all the three terms have a factor of 3, so we factorize it and write:
.
Second, we notice that
are the terms produced by
, without the 9. So we can write:
, and substituting in
we have:
.
Finally, distributing 3 over the two terms in the brackets we have:
.
Answer:
Answer:
17.8 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
In the 17 hours between heights of 18.6 cm and 15.2 cm, the candle lost 3.4 cm in height. That is, the height decreased at the rate of ...
(-3.4 cm)/(17 h) = -0.2 cm/h
In the 4 hours between 12 hours and 16 hours of burning time, the candle will have changed its height by (4 h)(-0.2 cm/h) = -0.8 cm.
The height at 16 hours of burning is then 18.6 cm -0.8 cm = 17.8 cm.
