3/7 (0.428571) Miles on Monday

2/6 = 1/3 (.333333) Miles on Tuesday

Subtract both numbers

.428571 - .333333 +

Q # 1

Explanation

Given the parabola

$f\left(x\right)=\left(x-3\right)^2-1$

Openness

It OPENS UP, as 'a=1' is positive.

Finding Vertex

The vertex of an up-down facing parabola of the form

$y=ax^2+bx+c\:\mathrm{is}\:x_v=-\frac{b}{2a}$

$\mathrm{Rewrite}\:y=\left(x-3\right)^2-1\:\mathrm{in\:the\:form}\:y=ax^2+bx+c$

$y=x^2-6x+8$

$a=1,\:b=-6,\:c=8$

$x_v=-\frac{\left(-6\right)}{2\cdot \:1}$

$x_v=3$

Finding $y_v$

$y_v=3^2-6\cdot \:3+8$

$y_v=-1$

So vertex is:

$\left(3,\:-1\right)$

Horizontal Translation

$y=\left(x-3\right)^2$ moves the graph RIGHT 3 units.

Vertical Translation

$f\left(x\right)=\left(x-3\right)^2-1$ moves the graph DOWN 1 unit.

Stretch or Compress Vertically

As $a = 1$ , so it does not affect the stretchiness or compression.

Q # 2

Explanation:

$f\left(x\right)=-\left(x+1\right)^2-2$

Openness

It OPENS DOWN, as 'a=-1' is negative.

Vertex

$\mathrm{Rewrite}\:y=-\left(x+1\right)^2-2\:\mathrm{in\:the\:form}\:y=ax^2+bx+c$

$y=-x^2-2x-3$

$a=-1,\:b=-2,\:c=-3$

$x_v=-\frac{\left(-2\right)}{2\left(-1\right)}$

$x_v=-1$

$\mathrm{Plug\:in}\:\:x_v=-1\:\mathrm{to\:find\:the}\:y_v\:\mathrm{value}$

$y_v=-2$

So vertex is:

$\left(-1,\:-2\right)$

Horizontal Translation

$y=\left(x+1\right)^2$ moves the graph LEFT 1 unit.

Vertical Translation

$f\left(x\right)=\left(x+1\right)^2-2$ moves the graph DOWN 2 unit.

Stretch or Compress Vertically

As $a = -1$ < 0, so it is either stretched or compressed.

Q # 3

Explanation:

$f\left(x\right)=\frac{1}{3}\left(x-4\right)^2+6$

It OPENS UP, as 'a=1/3' is positive.

Vertex

$\mathrm{Rewrite}\:y=\frac{1}{3}\left(x-4\right)^2+6\:\mathrm{in\:the\:form}\:y=ax^2+bx+c$

$y=\frac{1\cdot \:x^2}{3}-\frac{8x}{3}+\frac{34}{3}$

$a=\frac{1}{3},\:b=-\frac{8}{3},\:c=\frac{34}{3}$

$x_v=-\frac{\left(-\frac{8}{3}\right)}{2\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)}$

$x_v=4$

Finding $y_v$

$y_v=\frac{1\cdot \:4^2}{3}-\frac{8\cdot \:4}{3}+\frac{34}{3}$

$y_v=6$

So vertex is:

$\left(4,\:6\right)$

Horizontal Translation

$f\left(x\right)=\left(x-4\right)^2$ moves the graph RIGHT 4 units.

Vertical Translation

$f\left(x\right)=}\left(x-4\right)^2+6$ moves the graph UP 6 unit.

Stretch or Compress Vertically

As $a=\frac{1}{3}$ , so it the graph is vertically compressed by a factor of 1/3.

Check the attached comparison graphs.

Q # 4

Explanation:

Given the function

$f\left(x\right)=-\left(x+3\right)^2$

It OPENS DOWN, as 'a=-1' is negative.

Vertex

The vertex of an up-down facing parabola of the form $y=a\left(x-m\right)\left(x-n\right)$

is the average of the zeros $x_v=\frac{m+n}{2}$

$y=-\left(x+3\right)^2$

$a=-1,\:m=-3,\:n=-3$

$x_v=\frac{m+n}{2}$

$x_v=\frac{\left(-3\right)+\left(-3\right)}{2}$

$x_v=-3$

Finding $y_v$

$y_v=-\left(-3+3\right)^2$

$y_v=0$

So vertex is:

$\left(-3,\:0\right)$

Horizontal Translation

$y=\left(x+3\right)^2$ moves the graph LEFT 3 units.

Vertical Translation

$y=\left(x+3\right)^2$ does not move the graph vertically.

Stretch or Compress Vertically

As $a=-1$ , so it the graph is either vertically stretched or compressed.

Q # 5

Explanation:

$f\left(x\right)=\left(x+5\right)^2-3$

Openness

It OPENS UP, as 'a=1' is positive.

Vertex

$\mathrm{Rewrite}\:y=\left(x+5\right)^2-3\:\mathrm{in\:the\:form}\:y=ax^2+bx+c$

$y=x^2+10x+22$

$a=1,\:b=10,\:c=22$

$x_v=-\frac{10}{2\cdot \:1}$

$x_v=-5$

Finding $y_v$

$y_v=\left(-5\right)^2+10\left(-5\right)+22$

So vertex is:

$\left(-5,\:-3\right)$

Horizontal Translation

$f\left(x\right)=\left(x+5\right)^2$ moves the graph LEFT 5 units.

Vertical Translation

$f\left(x\right)=\left(x+5\right)^2-3$ moves the graph DOWN 3 unit.

Stretch or Compress Vertically

As $a = 1$ , so it does not affect the stretchiness or compression.

Check the attached comparison graphs.

A novel is 11/16 inch thick. If there are two shelves, each 99 inches wide, how many novels will be able to fit on the two shelv

34kurt

First let's just combine the shelves to make it easier. 99 + 99 = 198.

We can simply divide 198 by 11/16 to get the answer. First let's convert 11/16 to a decimal.

11 divided by 16 is 0.6875

So 198 divided by 0.6875 is 288.

288 novels can fit on both the shelves.

In sunlight, a vertical stick has a height of 4 ft and casts a shadow 2 ft long at the same time that a nearby tree casts a shad

marshall27 [118]

Remark
Make up a proportion that relates the tree and its properties to the stick and its properties.

Givens
Stick height (s_h) = 4
Stick shadow(s_s) = 2
Tree shadow = t_s = 18
Tree height = x

Formula
s_h / s_s = x / t_s

Substitute and solve.
4/2 = x / 18 Cross multiply
4*18 = 2 * x
72 = 2x Divide by 2
72/2 = x
x = 36

The height of the tree is 36 feet.
