Answer:

See attached image

Step-by-step explanation:

This equation for a parabola is given in vertex form, so it is very simple to extract the coordinates of its vertex, by using the opposite of the number that accompanies the variable "x" in the squared expression (opposite of 2) for the vertex's x-value, and the value of the constant (-6) for the vertex's y-value.

The vertex coordinates are therefore: (-2,-6)

The equation of the axis of symmetry of the parabola is a vertical line passing through the vertex. Since all vertical lines have the shape x = constant in our case, in order to pass through (-2,-6) the vertical line is defined by the equation: x = -2.

See image attached to find the vertex drawn as a red point, and the axis of symmetry as an orange vertical line passing through it.

Help with this I don't know how to solve

Answer:

86.53

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of Triangle Formula: A = 1/2bh

Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²

Step 1: Draw altitude and label numbers

If we draw a line down the middle, we can see that we get a perpendicular bisector and that we get 2 right triangles with a hypotenuse of 29 and a leg of 3. We need to find <em>h</em> using Pythagorean Theorem in order to use area formula:

3² + b² = 29²

b² = 29² - 3²

b = √832 = h

Step 2: Plug in known variables into area formula:

A = 1/2(√832)(6)

A = 3√832

A = 86.5332

shelly is going shopping at the mall to buy three pairs of shoes. she has a coupon for $2 off per pair of shoes after buying the

kvasek [131]

Okay, to start, we can multiply the $2 coupon by two because that is the amount of pairs she is going to by. So it would be $4 off. Now, if all of the shoes she purchased the same price, this is made a little easier. We can simply take $80 and $122 and add it by the $4 discount. Our new numbers would be $84 and $126. Now in order for this to work we would want all the numbers to be the same. We take $84 and divide it by three pairs, to get the values. For the least amount she can spend per pair is $28 and the most amount she can spend per pair is $42.
