Answer:

reflect over the x-axis and shift down 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the transformed graph has equation.

$y = - {x}^{2} - 5$

and the parent function is

$y = {x}^{2}$

Then the transformed function is obtained by reflecting the parent function in the x-axis and then shifting it down by 5 units.

The coy option is reflect over the x-axis and shift down 5 units.

You are flying a kite on a line that is 350 feet long. Let's suppose the line is perfectly straight (it never really is) and it

aliina [53]

Answer:

We can think that the line of the kite is the hypotenuse of a triangle rectangle, and the altitude is one of the cathetus of the triangle.

And we know that it makes an angle of 65° with the horizontal (i guess this is measured between the hypotenuse and the horizontal adjacent to the kite.

This angle is complementary to the top angle of our triangle rectangle, such that A + 65° = 90°

A = 90° - 65° = 25°

Then the altitude of the kite is the adjacent cathetus to this angle.

We can use the relation:

sin(A) = Adjacent cathetus/hypotenuse.

Sin(25°) = X/350ft

Sin(25°)*350ft = X = 147.9m

Aaron tracks the time it takes him to mow lawns by writing coordinate points relating x, the time in hours it takes to mow a law

NARA [144]

Answer:

Slope of this line is given by:

<em>Aaron’s rate for mowing lawns is 0.5 acres per hour</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that time is tracked by Aaron related to x coordinate.

and the area of land mowed in acres is related to y coordinate.

Two of his points are given as:

(3, 1.5) and (5,2.5)

We know that the coordinates are represented in the form of (x,y)

i.e. first coordinate represents x coordinate and

second coordinate represents y coordinate.

So, it can be observed that:

$x_1=3, y_1=1.5\\x_2=5, y_2=2.5$

Change in x coordinate = $x_2-x_1=5-3 = 2$

i.e. total time taken is 2 hours.

Change in y coordinate = $y_2-y_1=2.5-1.5 = 1$

i.e. total land mowed taken is 1 acre.

In other words, <em>it takes 2 hours for Aaron to mow 1 acre of land.</em>

So, "option 1) It takes Aaron about 1 hour to mow 2 acres." is incorrect.

<u>Rate of mowing</u> lawn is the <em>land mowed by Aaron in 1 hour</em>.

Land mowed in 2 hours = 1 acre

Land mowed in 1 hours = $\frac{1}{2}$ acre i.e. 0.5 acre

Also, slope of a line is given as:

$m = \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Here $y_2 - y_1 = 1$

$x_2 - x_1 = 2$

As per formula:

$m = \dfrac{1}{2} = 0.5$

So, option 2) Aaron’s rate for mowing lawns is 0.5 acres per hour.

The solution to the equation is p = 1/3 and q = undefined

<h3>How to solve the equation?</h3>

The equation is given as:

p^2 - 2qp + 1/q = (p - 1/3)

The best way to solve the above equation is by the use of a graphing calculator i.e. graphically

However, it can be solved algebraically too (to some extent)

Recall that the equation is given as:

p^2 - 2qp + 1/q = (p - 1/3)

Split the equation

So, we have

p^2 - 2qp + 1/q = 0

p - 1/3 = 0

Solve for p in p - 1/3 = 0

p = 1/3

Substitute p = 1/3 in p^2 - 2qp + 1/q = 0

So, we have

(1/3)^2 - 2q(1/3) + 1/q = 0

This gives

1/9 - 2/3q + 1/q = 0

This gives

2/3q + 1/q = -1/9

Multiply though by q

So, we have

2/3q^2 + 1 = -1/9q

Multiply through by 9

6q^2 + 9 = -q

So, we have

6q^2 + q + 9 = 0

Using the graphing calculator, we have

q = undefined

Hence. the solution to the equation is p = 1/3 and q = undefined
