Y = x^2 + 2x - 1 = x^2 + 2x + 1 - 1 - 1 = (x + 1)^2 - 2
The vertex of a parabola given by y = a(x - h)^2 + k is (h, k).
Therefore, the vertex of y =  (x + 1)^2 - 2 is (-1, -2)
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
7.5 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
take the 5 away from the 20, you have 15 inches left. Isosceles triangles have two equal sides; 15 divided into two equally is 7.5
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
An angle bisector divides an angle into two equal parts.  This means that you can set the two parts equal to each other and solve for x.
8x + 35 = 11x + 23
(8x + 35) - 35 = (11x + 23) - 35
8x = 11x - 12
8x - 11 x = (11x - 12) - 11x
-3x = -12
(-3x)/-3 = -12/-3
x = 4
 
        
             
        
        
        
1 Amberjack 
Kingfish equals 2 Amberjacks
Marlin equals 2 Kingfish or 4 Amberjacks
Tarpon equals 5 AmberJacks
So:
1A plus 2A plus 4A plus 5A equals the 252.
(where A is weight of the AmberJack).
Therefore:
12A equals 252, and A is 21. (252/12 = 21)
Then:
The Amberjack is 21Ibs.
The Kingfish (twice as much as A) is 42Ibs.
The Marlin (four times A) is 84Ibs.
And the Tarpon (five times A) is 105Ibs. 
To Check:
21 + 42 + 84 + 105 = 252
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Answer:
A= 7 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of a rectangular prism= length*width*height
So Volume=2.5*4*.75= 7.5
