A researcher approximated the number of cactus plants in a region of desert that is roughly square shaped with a side length of

175 kilometers. As part of the process, he counted the number of cactus plants in a small part of the region and determined that the density of cactus plant was about 214 plants per square kilometer. He assumed the density of cactus plants was the same throughout the region.
Which expression would the researcher have most likely used when making his approximation for the number of cactus plants in the square shaped region


(3 × 10^5) (2 × 10^2)

3 × 10^4 / 2 x 10^2

(3 × 10^4) (2 × 10^2)

3 × 10^5 / 2 × 10^2

The correct answer is C) (3×10⁴)(2×10²)

Explanation:
The total number of cactus plants can be found by multiplying the density of plants (d) by the area (A):
P = d · A

The area of a square can be found by the formula:
A = s²
   = (175 km)²
   = 30625 km²
which can be approximated to 3×10⁴ km²

The density of the cactus plants is
d = 214 /km²
which can be approximated to 2×10² /km²

Therefore, the number of plants can be approximated to:
P = d <span>· A
    = (</span>2×10² /km²) · (3×10⁴ km<span>²)
    = </span>(2×10²) · (3×10⁴<span>)</span>

Hence, the correct option is C)

Write a quadratic function in vertex form whose graph has the vertex
ELEN [110]

Answer:

y = \frac{1}{2}(x - 5)² - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

Here (h, k) = (5, - 2), thus

y = a(x - 5)² - 2

To find a substitute (7, 0) into the equation

0 = a(7 - 5)² - 2

0 = 4a - 2 ( add 2 to both sides )

2 = 4a ( divide both sides by 4 )

a = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}

y = \frac{1}{2} (x - 5)² - 2 ← in vertex form
