First number is a and second one is 2a+4
a(2a+4)=48
a(a+2)=24
a^2+2a-24=0
(a+6)(a-4)=0
the question says a is negative so a=-6 b=-8

A parabola has a maximum value of 4 at x= -1, a y-intercept of 3, and an x-intercept of 1.

Scilla [17]

well none of the answer choices match up with all these statements ...

C. it only matches up with the y-intercept given

D. it matches with the y-intercept, and the x- intercept is not quite on the 1

*but i would say C is the closest, because it has an x-intercept of -1 and the maximum point is at (1,4) ... which are the same with the given statements except that they have opposite signs, but yeah i have no clue*

Answer:

1857 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the scale on a map is 1 cm:30 mi. The distance on the map between San Francisco, CA, and Chicago, IL, is 61.9 cm. We are asked to find the actual distance between San Francisco and Chicago.

We will use proportions to solve our given problem.

$\frac{\text{Actual distance}}{\text{Map distance}}=\frac{30\text{ miles}}{1\text{ cm}}$

Upon substituting map distance between San Francisco and Chicago, we will get:

$\frac{\text{Actual distance}}{61.9\text{ cm}}=\frac{30\text{ miles}}{1\text{ cm}}$

$\frac{\text{Actual distance}}{61.9\text{ cm}}\cdot 61.9\text{ cm}=\frac{30\text{ miles}}{1\text{ cm}}\cdot 61.9\text{ cm}$

$\text{Actual distance}=30\text{ miles}\cdot 61.9$

$\text{Actual distance}=1857\text{ miles}$

Therefore, the actual distance between San Francisco and Chicago is 1857 miles.

Kobotan [32]

In order to calculate that distance, we need to know the
" scale " of the map ... how many miles is represented by
1 inch on the map, or the ratio.

Different maps are drawn with different scales.
