Answer:

33.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

The oranges have decreased by one dollar per pound so you have to find the percentage of 3 that is 1. To do this is 1 over 3 multiplied by 100%

= $\frac{1}{3} \\$ * 100%

And this will give you 33.33%

Two boats depart from a port located at (–8, 1) in a coordinate system measured in kilometers and travel in a positive x-directi

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}y=-\dfrac{1}{9}x^2 +\dfrac{2}{9}x+\dfrac{89}{9}\\ \\y=\dfrac{1}{8}x^2 -7\end{array}\right.$

Step-by-step explanation:

1st boat:

Parabola equation:

$y=ax^2 +bx+c$

The x-coordinate of the vertex:

$x_v=-\dfrac{b}{2a}\Rightarrow -\dfrac{b}{2a}=1\\ \\b=-2a$

Equation:

$y=ax^2 -2ax+c$

The y-coordinate of the vertex:

$y_v=a\cdot 1^2-2a\cdot 1+c\Rightarrow a-2a+c=10\\ \\c-a=10$

Parabola passes through the point (-8,1), so

$1=a\cdot (-8)^2-2a\cdot (-8)+c\\ \\80a+c=1$

Solve:

$c=10+a\\ \\80a+10+a=1\\ \\81a=-9\\ \\a=-\dfrac{1}{9}\\ \\b=-2a=\dfrac{2}{9}\\ \\c=10-\dfrac{1}{9}=\dfrac{89}{9}$

Parabola equation:

$y=-\dfrac{1}{9}x^2 +\dfrac{2}{9}x+\dfrac{89}{9}$

2nd boat:

Parabola equation:

$y=ax^2 +bx+c$

The x-coordinate of the vertex:

$x_v=-\dfrac{b}{2a}\Rightarrow -\dfrac{b}{2a}=0\\ \\b=0$

Equation:

$y=ax^2+c$

The y-coordinate of the vertex:

$y_v=a\cdot 0^2+c\Rightarrow c=-7$

Parabola passes through the point (-8,1), so

$1=a\cdot (-8)^2-7\\ \\64a-7=1$

Solve:

$a=-\dfrac{1}{8}\\ \\b=0\\ \\c=-7$

Parabola equation:

$y=\dfrac{1}{8}x^2 -7$

System of two equations:

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}y=-\dfrac{1}{9}x^2 +\dfrac{2}{9}x+\dfrac{89}{9}\\ \\y=\dfrac{1}{8}x^2 -7\end{array}\right.$

Find the vertex of y=-x^2+6x-12

Debora [2.8K]

You find the x coordinates using x = -b/2a = -6/2(-1) = 3

Substitute 3 in the equation and find y

y = -(3^2) + 6(3) - 12 = -9 + 18 - 12 = -3

Vertex (3,-3)
