Ok... so this question can be solved by using simultaneous equations.
Use the general from of a parabola
you know the value of c, the y-intercept... y = -4
which means the equation is
now use the other 2 points to get 2 equations in 2 unknowns
(-2, -20) just substitute
this becomes
now the other equation using (4, -20)
The simplified form is
Answer:
length = 5
width = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
V = lwh
let 'x' = length
let '4+x' = width
9 = height
405 = 9x(4+x)
405 = 36x + 9x²
this is a quadratic equation: 9x² + 36x - 405 = 0
factor out a 9 to get:
9(x² + 4x - 45) = 0
9(x-5)(x+9) = 0
one root is 5 and the other is -9
since distance cannot be negative we use 5 as the length and 9 is the width
<span>To acquire knowledge, thought is a fundamental necessity
-It must be "thought about" before any new ideas can be formulated (e.g., a student who is learning English as a second language must be competent in his primary native language before he can "think" or understand new concepts in another language)
-Initial emergence of language and thought are separate from each other, until about the age of 3 when a transition takes place in the child from the external to the internal
-Children practice private speech (self-talk) to become more competent
---The use of private speech helps children to self-regulate through organizing, guiding, and controlling their behavior
---Private speech is responsible for all higher levels of mental functioning
Noam Chomsky
Language Acquisition
-Language learning is innate
-Chomsky believes that children are prewired to learn language and that infants have a language acquisition device (LAD) built-in neurologically so that they can intuitively understand grammar
-There is a critical period when children find it easy to learn language
Language development milestones: Infant (0-12 months)
-Early vocalizations are spontaneous sounds of cooing (vowels) or crying
-Then babbling sounds (phonemes) begin with sounds more like patterned speech with consonant-vowel strings ("da-da-da-da")</span>
<span>the rate of decay each month can calculated using the following formula:
</span><span>
6%/year × 1 year/(12 months) = 0.5%/month
0.06 x 1/12 = 0.005/month
</span><span>So the 0.5% is the right answer.
I hope it helped.</span>
