Answer:

taffy is 0.18 meters in length

Step-by-step explanation:

ok...so cubby is 1.26 meters long

cubby is 7 times as long as taffy

c = 1.26

c = 7t

1.26 = 7t

1.26 / 7 = t

0.18 = t

so taffy is 0.18 meters long <===

Find the x- and y- intercepts of parabola y=5x^2-16x+10

____ [38]

Y-INTERCEPT

$y = 5x^2 - 16x + 10$

The y-intercept is where the equation/curve/parabola cosses the y-axis.

The y-axis is where x = 0. (The x-axis is where y = 0)

To find the y-intercept:

$\text{y-axis} \rightarrow \text{x = 0} \rightarrow y = 5(0)^2 -16(0) + 10 = 10$

The y-intercept must be at (0, 10)

X-INTERCEPT (ROOTS/SOLUTIONS)

$y = 5x^2 - 16x + 10\\\text{make it equal 0}\\y = 0\\\therefore 5x^2 - 16x + 10 = 0$

We need to use the quadratic formula

The quadratic formula helps us find what values of $x$ make the equation = 0

Quadratic formula: $x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$x=\frac{-(-16) + \sqrt{(-16)^2-4(5)(10)}}{2(5)}\\\\x = \frac{16 + \sqrt{256-200}}{10}\\x = \frac{16 + \sqrt{56}}{10}\\x = \frac{16 + 2\sqrt{14}}{10}\\x = \frac{8 + \sqrt{14}}{5}\\\\\\x=\frac{-(-16) - \sqrt{(-16)^2-4(5)(10)}}{2(5)}\\\text{doing the same thing...}\\\text{end up with...}\\x = \frac{8 - \sqrt{14}}{5}\\$

The x-intercepts are at:

$(\frac{8 + \sqrt{14}}{5}, 0)\\(\frac{8 - \sqrt{14}}{5}, 0)$

Find the constant of proportionality for the table and write in the form y = kx.

atroni [7]

Answer:

y=4x

Step-by-step explanation:

it's enough to use first column (x=6, y=24). Inserting this data into equation y=kx, we can calculate k.

24=k*6

6k = 24

k = 24/6

k = 4
