Answer:

3,500 no votes

Step-by-step explanation:

There were 7 yes votes to every 4 no votes.  There were a total of 6,125 yes votes, so set up a proportion to find the number of no votes

Let x represent the number of no votes

7 is to 4 as 6,125 is to x

We get

7/4 = 6,125/x

Now solve for x

First cross multiply

7x = 24,500

Divide both sides by 7 to isolate x..

x = 3,500 no votes

Lilit [14]
She could estimate that there would be about 148 million female drivers.

From her data, she found there were 118 females drivers out of the total 200 drivers that she counted.

That is 118 out of 200 or 0.59 or 59%.

Now, just take 59% of 250.

0.59 x 250 = 147.5 which rounds to 148.

The standard form of the equation for a quadratic function is, with he vertex of the graph of the function at the point (p,q). t
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

p = ½ (x₁ + x₂)

q = a (x₁x₂ − ¼ (x₁ + x₂)²)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = a (x − x₁) (x − x₂)

Expand:

y = a (x² − x₁x − x₂x + x₁x₂)

y = a (x² − (x₁ + x₂)x + x₁x₂)

Distribute a to the first two terms:

y = a (x² − (x₁ + x₂)x) + ax₁x₂

Complete the square:

y = a (x² − (x₁ + x₂)x + ¼(x₁ + x₂)²) + ax₁x₂ − ¼ a(x₁ + x₂)²

y = a (x − ½ (x₁ + x₂))² + a (x₁x₂ − ¼ (x₁ + x₂)²)

Therefore:

p = ½ (x₁ + x₂)

q = a (x₁x₂ − ¼ (x₁ + x₂)²)
