Answer:

160 athletes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of athletes in the meet be x

Given that 24 athletes who  threw the shot put at a track and field meet are 15/100 of all the  athletes in the meet .

If we write this in mathematical algebraic expression

15/100 of all the  athletes in the meet = 24

15/100 * x = 24

=> x = 24*100/15 = 24*100/3*5 = 160

Thus, 160 athletes competed in the meet.

We know that ∠1 equals ∠3, from that we can find x:

10x = 100 \\ x = 10

The sum of ∠1 and ∠2 must equal 180°:

10x + 10y + 20 = 180

Since we already know x, we can solve for y:

10 \times 10 + 10y + 20 = 180 \\ 10y + 120 = 180 \\ 10y = 60 \\ y = 6

Result: x=10, y=6

Find the vertex and axis of symmetry for f(x)=2x^2-1
vfiekz [6]
<h3>Axis of symmetry is 0 and vertex is (0, -1)</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>Given is:</u></em>

f(x) = 2x^2 - 1

We have to find the vertex and axis of symmetry

<em><u>The general equation is given as:</u></em>

f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c

Comparing with given equation,

a = 2

b = 0

c = -1

<em><u>The axis of symmetry is given as:</u></em>

x = \frac{-b}{2a}

x = \frac{0}{2(2)}\\\\x = 0

Thus axis of symmetry is 0

The x coordinate of the vertex is the same

x coordinate of the vertex = 0

h = 0

The y coordinate of the vertex is:

k = f(h)

k = f(0)

f(0) = 2(0) - 1\\\\f(0) = 0 - 1\\\\f(0) = -1

Thus, y coordinate of the vertex is -1

Therefore, vertex is (0, -1)
