A flock of geese is flying north for the summer while a bird watcher is observing. He notices that they are flying in the shape

of an absolute value graph. The lead goose is 5 miles east and 3 miles north of the bird watcher. A second goose is flying 1 mile east and 2 miles north of the bird watcher. If the bird watcher is standing at the origin write an equation for the flight of the geese in the form of y=a|(x-h)|+k

Answer:

y = -¼│x − 5│+ 3

Step-by-step explanation:

y = a│x − h│+ k

(h, k) is the vertex of the absolute value graph.  In this case, it's (5, 3).

y = a│x − 5│+ 3

One point on the graph is (1, 2).  Plug in to find the value of a.

2 = a│1 − 5│+ 3

2 = 4a + 3

a = -¼

Therefore, the graph is:

y = -¼│x − 5│+ 3

kumpel [21]

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

ƒ(x) = 5x^2 − 9x + 18,

Let x=3

ƒ(3) = 5*3^2 − 9*3 + 18,

      =5*9 - 27+18

        45 - 27+18

Mr. Trainer is building a bookcase. He has two wooden boards that are each 8 feet long. He needs to cut the wooden boards into p
love history [14]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of one of the boards = 8 feet

Converting to inches

1\ \text{foot}=12\ \text{inches}\\\Rightarrow 8\ \text{feet}=8\times 12=96\ \text{inches}

One cut is 16 inches

So, we divide the length of the board by 16

\dfrac{96}{16}=6

So, one board is cut into 6 pieces.

The other board is also 8 feet long.

So, the number of pieces the other board is cut into is also 6.

Hence, a total of 6+6=12 pieces of each 16 inches long can be cut from the two boards.
