Answer:
There are 650 cannonballs
Step-by-step explanation:
If you look closely in the picture, you can see that:
- 1st row has 1 ball
- 2nd row has 4 balls
- 3rd row has 9 balls
- 4th row has 16 balls
etc. etc.
We can see that the number of balls is the square of the row number. There are a total of 12 rows. So, rest of the rows has:
- 5th row has 25 balls
- 6th row has 36 balls
- 7th row has 49 balls
- 8th row has 64 balls
- 9th row has 81 balls
- 10th row has 100 balls
- 11th row has 121 balls
- 12th row has 144 balls
If we add up all those, we get total number of balls:

There are 650 cannonballs
Answer: The vertex of the parabola (quadratic function) is (-2,-4)
Fourth option: (-2,-4)
Solution:
y=x^2+4x
y=ax^2+bx+c; a=1, b=4, c=0
Vertex: V=(h,k)
h=-b/(2a)
h=-4/(2(1))
h=-4/2
h=-2
y=x^2+4x
k=y=h^2+4h
k=(-2)^2+4(-2)
k=4-8
k=-4
Vertex: V=(h,k)
Vertex: V=( -2, -4)
Step-by-step explanation:
common factor 8 and 18 is 2.
