The population, y, of a small town can be represented using a quadratic model. The maximum population, 6,000 people, occurred 20

years after record keeping began. Five years later, the population was 5,950. If x represents the number of years after record keeping began, which equation represents the given scenario? y = 2(x – 20)2 + 6,000 y = –2/9(x – 20)2 + 6,000 y = –2(x – 20)2 + 6,000 y =2/9 (x – 20)2 + 6,000

Answer:

y = -2(x - 20)² + 6000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The maximum population, 6,000 people, occurred 20 years after record keeping began. Five years later, the population was 5,950

To Find: If x represents the number of years after record keeping began, which equation represents the given scenario?

Solution:

Vertex = (20,6000) and the parabola opens downward.  

So, Equation is:  

y = A (x - 20)² + 6000    --1

Now, we need to find A.

It is also given that Five years later, the population was 5,950

This means in 25th year the population was 5950.

So, point (25,5950) is on the parabola. Now substitute the given point in the equation to get value of A

5950 = A (25 - 20)² + 6000  

-50 = A (5)²  

-50 = 25 A  

A = -2  

Now substitute the value of A in 1

Thus Equation becomes:   y = -2(x - 20)² + 6000

Hence Option 3 is correct .

y = -2(x - 20)² + 6000 represent the situation.

If I can read the #'s correctly:
add the yes answers together 23+147 = 170
add the no answers together 112+48= 160

so your ratio of haves to have nots is 170 to 160

but both sides can be divided by 10, so it can be simplified to 17 to 16.

Good Luck!

Triangle ABC has vertices A(0,6) B(4,6) C(1,3). Sketch a graph of ABC and use it to find the orthocenter of ABC. Then list the s
Allisa [31]

For line B to AC:  y - 6 = (1/3)(x - 4);  y - 6 = (x/3) - (4/3); 3y - 18 = x - 4, so 3y - x = 14

For line A to BC:  y - 6 = (-1)(x - 0);  y - 6 = -x, so y + x = 6

Since these lines intersect at one point (the orthocenter), we can use simultaneous equations to solve for x and/or y:

(3y - x = 14) + (y + x = 6) =>  4y = 20, y = +5;  Substitute this into y + x = 6:  5 + x = 6, x = +1

<span>So the orthocenter is at coordinates (1,5), and the slopes of all three orthocenter lines are above.</span>
