4 = (r-2) t

8 = (r+2) t

4 = (r-2) * [8/(r+2)]

4 = (8r-16)/ (r+2)  . . .multiply by 2


4r + 8 = 8r - 16

4r = 24

r = 6

hope this helps

The vertex form of the equation of a parabola is y = 4(x - 2)2 - 1. What is the standard form of the equation?
Paladinen [302]
Ok so your original equation was y=4(x-2)²-1
Therefore we need to expand the bracket to find the original equation.
To do this we need to find (x-2)²=x²-4x+4
Now we multiply this by 4 and subtract 1
4x²-16x+15 Therefore B is the answer

olganol [36]

Answer:

he earns about 120 bucks a week

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 168 hours in a week and, so if the hours in 5970 divided by 50 equals 119.4 (possibly irrelevant) but if he gets paid 5970 per year and works 0.57 hours per day (40 divided by 24) and works about 1.666_ days a week than that would equal 120.85
