Answer:
The length of the first piece = 41 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the length of the first piece = a
Let the length of the second piece = b
Let the length of the third piece = c
we are given the following:
b = 3a . . . . . (1) (The 2nd piece is 3 times as long as the 1st piece)
c = 6 + a . . . . (2) (the 3rd piece is 6 centimeters longer than the 1st piece)
a + b + c = 211 . . . . . (3) ( the yarn has a total length of 211 centimeters)
Next, let us eliminate two variables, and this can easily be done by substituting the values of b and c in equations 1 and 2 into equation 3. this is done as follows:
a + b + c = 211
a + (3a) + (6 + a) = 211 ( remember that b = 3a; c = 6 + a)
a + 3a + 6 + a = 211
5a + 6 = 211
5a = 211 - 6 = 205
5a = 205
∴ a = 205 ÷ 5 = 41 cm
a = 41 cm
Therefore the length of the first piece (a) = 41 cm
now finding b and c
substituting a into equation 1 and 2
b = 3a
b = 3 × 41 = 123
∴ b = 123 cm
c = 6 + a
c = 6 + 41 = 47
∴ c = 47 cm

Step-by-step explanation: I had the same question
Answer:
y = 5x2 + 10x - 15
We want this in format y = a(x-h)2 + k
where the vertex will be at (h,k)
y = 5(x2+2x) - 15
Complete the square on x2+2x
y = 5(x2+2x+1) - 15 - 5
We subtract 5 at the end because we are actually adding 5(1) = 5
so we need to remove it also to keep the total equal
y = 5(x+1)2 - 20
The vertex is at (-1,-20)
