Answer:

The maximum possible number of mosquitoes is 25 millions

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

m(x) -----> the number of mosquitoes in Minneapolis, Minnesota (in millions of mosquitoes)

x ----> the rainfall in centimeters

we have

m(x)=-(x-5)^{2} +25

This is a quadratic equation (vertical parabola) open downward

The vertex is the maximum

we know that

The maximum possible number of mosquitoes is equal to the y-coordinate of the vertex

Find out the coordinate of the vertex

The general equation of a vertical parabola in vertex form is equal to

y=a(x-h)^{2} +k

where

a is a coefficient

(h,k) is the vertex

so

In this problem

a=-1 (open downward)

(h,k)=(5,25)

The y-coordinate is 25

therefore

The maximum possible number of mosquitoes is 25 millions

Write an equation for the line?
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

y = 2x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

(2, 7) and (0, 3)

Find the slope between the two points:

(x1, y1) = (0, 3)

(x2, y2) = (2, 7)

(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

(7 - 3)/(2 - 0)

4/2 = 2

m = 2

y = mx + a

y = 2x + a

Use one of the two points to find a (I will use point (2, 7):

7 = 2(2) + a

7 = 4 + a

a = 3

Slope-intercept Form: y = 2x + 3

Point-slope Form: y - 3 = 2x

Point-slope Form: y - 7 = 2(x - 2)

General equation: 2x - y + 3 = 0

Question in picture
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

63 yd²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a trapezoid is calculated as

A = \frac{1}{2} h (a + b)

where a and b are the parallel bases and h the perpendicular height.

Here a = 8, b = 10 and h = 7, thus

A = 0.5 × 7 × (8 + 10) = 0.5 × 7 × 18 = 63 yd²
