Graph each of the equations and then determine which one represents the rank catcher that is elevated

We have two functions that are Parabolas. A parabola is a type of quadratic function which is a special type of “U”-shaped curve called. So let's solve this problem for the first parabola and then for the second one.

1. Graph of the first equation

We have that:

y=x^2-2x+3

So if we graph this equation, the parabola that matches it is shown in Figure 1.

1.1 Direction of Parabola

In general, a parabola or quadratic function is given by the following way:

y=ax^2+bx+c \\ \\ where \ "a" \ is \ called \ the \ leading \ coefficient

Given that our leading coefficient is positive, then the direction of the parabola is upward, that is, it opens upward.

1.2 Location of vertex with respect to the x-axis

The vertex a parabola can be found as follows:

(-\frac{b}{2a},f(-\frac{b}{2a}))

But: \\ \\ a=1 \\ b=-2 \\ c=3 \\ \\ Accordingly: \\ \\ -\frac{b}{2a}=-\frac{(-2)}{2(1)}=1 \\ \\ f(1)=1^2-2(1)+3=2 \\ \\ So \ the \ vertex \ is: \\ \\ V(1,2)

So the vertex is located two units above the x-axis.

<span>1.3 Determine if the graph depicts the rain gauge
</span>
A rain gauge is an instrument used by meteorologists and hydrologists to gather and measure the amount of liquid precipitation<span> over a set period of time.
</span>
From Figure 4 we can affirm that this is the parabola that resembles a rain gauge elevated from the ground. 

1.4 Why or why not?

It basically the question asks for the parabola that has a vertex well above the x-axis. From Figure 4, you can see that the elevated parabola is in fact:

y=x^2-2x+3

2. Graph of the second equation

We have that:

y=x^2+4x+4

So if we graph this equation, the parabola that matches it is shown in Figure 2.

2.1 Direction of Parabola

As in the previous problem, given that our leading coefficient is positive, then the direction of the parabola is also upward, that is, it opens upward.

2.2 Location of vertex with respect to the x-axis

The vertex of a parabola can be found as follows:

(-\frac{b}{2a},f(-\frac{b}{2a}))

In \ this \ case: \\ \\ a=1 \\ b=4 \\ c=3 \\ \\ Accordingly: \\ \\ -\frac{b}{2a}=-\frac{4}{2(1)}=-2 \\ \\ f(-2)=(-2)^2+4(-2)+4=0 \\ \\ So \ the \ vertex \ is: \\ \\ V(-2,0)

So the vertex lies on the x-axis.

2.3 Determine if the graph depicts the rain gauge

This parabola does not resembles a rain gauge elevated from the ground.

2.4 Why or why not?

As you can see the parabola touches the x-axis. If the x-axis represents the ground, then the rain gauge is touching it, that is, it is not elevated.

3. Graph of the third equation

We have that:

y=3x^2+21x+30

So if we graph this equation, the parabola that matches it is shown in Figure 5.

3.1 Direction of Parabola

As in the previous parabolas, given that our leading coefficient is positive, then the direction of the parabola is also upward, that is, it opens upward.

3.2 Location of vertex with respect to the x-axis

In \ this \ case: \\ \\ a=3 \\ b=21 \\ c=30 \\ \\ Accordingly: \\ \\ -\frac{b}{2a}=-\frac{21}{2(3)}=-\frac{7}{2} \\ \\ f(-\frac{7}{2})=3(-\frac{7}{2})^2+21(-\frac{7}{2})+30=-\frac{27}{4} \\ \\ So \ the \ vertex \ is: \\ \\ V(-\frac{7}{2},-\frac{27}{4})

So the vertex is shifted \frac{27}{4} units downward the x-axis.

3.3 Determine if the graph depicts the rain gauge

This parabola does not resembles a rain gauge elevated from the ground.

3.4 Why or why not?

The vertex of this parabola lies on the negative y-axis. So it is not elevated from the ground.

sweaters already on sale for 20% off the regular price cost $28 when purchased with a promotion coupon that allows an additional
r-ruslan [8.4K]

The original price was $50.

To find this we need to start with the price you paid ($28). We then use this cost to find the pre-coupon price. Since the coupon affords a 20% discount, that means you pay for 80%. To solve this, simply divide the price you paid by the percentage you paid.

$28/.80 = $35.

Now that we have the pre-coupon price ($35), we can use that to find the original price. Again, we'd want to divide that by the percentage you paid for, which is 70%.

$35/.70 = $50

brilliants [131]
The answer is C
call the length is a => the diagonal is a+1
11^2 + a^2=(a+1)^2
<=> 121 + a^2=a^2 + 2a +1
<=>120=2a

The diagram shows a rhombus inside a regular hexagon work out the angle x
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

<u>x = 60°</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

The rest of the question is the attached figure.

And it is required to find the angle x.

As shown, a rhombus inside a regular hexagon.

The regular hexagon have 6 congruent angles, and the sum of the interior angles is 720°

So, the measure of one angle of the regular hexagon = 720/6 = 120°

The rhombus have 2 obtuse angles and 2 acute angles.

one of the obtuse angles of the rhombus is the same angle of the regular hexagon.

So, the measure of each acute angle of the rhombus = 180 - 120 = 60°

So, the measure of each acute angle of the rhombus + the measure of angle x = the measure of one angle of the regular hexagon.

So,

60 + x = 120

x = 120 - 60 = 60°

<u>So, the measure of the angle x = 60°</u>

Each locker is shaped like a rectangular prism. Which has more storage space? explain/
seropon [69]
Locker 1 has more storage space because it has a greater volume.
The volume of locker 1 is 8,640 (48x15x12)
The volume of locker 2 is 7,200 (60x10x12)

I hope this helps.
