The axis of symmetry is the fold line that splits the parabola down the middle.
Now, since a parabola is symmetrical, every point, except the vertex, will have a mirror image of another point if we folded the parabola over the axis of symmetry.
So if we know the axis of symmetry is x = 3 and one of our points
has the coordinates (5, 0), the other point will have the coordinates (3, 0).
The axis of symmetry is always halfway between the x-intercepts.
1st space is 2
6th space (last) is 42
in betwen that is 5 spaces to go
find distance from 2 to 42
42-2=40
40=5 spaces
divide 5
8=1 space
each space goes upby 8
2=1st space
2+8=2nd space
2+8+8=3rd space=18=x
x=18
Answer:
0.007%
Step-by-step explanation:
4000/28=0.007%
Out of 5 cards in the bag ...
-- There are 2 even numbers . . . 2 and 4 .
-- There are 3 odd numbers . . . 1, 3, and 5 .
So EITHER time, the probability of pulling an even number is 2/5 ,
and the probability of pulling an odd number is 3/5 .
The probability of pulling an even number the first time
AND an odd number the second time is
(2/5) x (3/5) = 6/25 = <em>24%</em> .
Set up a proportion here as the height over the shadow of the adult = to the height over the shadow of the baby. so you have 12/4.8 = height/2. cross multiply to get 12*2=4.8 times height, which is 24 = 4.8*height. divide both sides by 4.8 to get height = 5 feet
