Just plug in an easy number for "x" and solve. Then see if the second problem is really greater that the first
Answer:
Tom's car went further
Step-by-step explanation:
Since there are 100 centimeters in 1 meter - Roberts car went nearly 1 and a half meters or Tom's car went 200 centimeters.
I assume that the parabola in this particular problem is one whose axis of symmetry is parallel to the y axis. The formula we're going to use in this case is (x-h)2=4p(y-k). We know variables h and k from the vertex (1,20) but p is not given. However, we can solve for p by substituting values x and y in the formula with the y-intercept:
(0-1)^2=4p(16-20)
Solving for p, p=-1/16.
Going back to the formula, we can finally solve for the x-intercepts. Simply fill in variables p, h and k then set y to zero:
(x-1)^2=4(-1/16)(0-20)
(x-1)^2=5
x-1=(+-)sqrt(5)
x=(+-)sqrt(5)+1
Here, we have two values of x
x=sqrt(5)+1 and
x=-sqrt(5)+1
thus, the answers are: (sqrt(5)+1,0) and (-sqrt(5)+1,0).
Steps to solve:
47.5 + 4.5x ≤ 65
~Subtract 47.5 to both sides
4.5x ≤ 17.5
~Divide 4.5 to both sides
x ≤ 3.8888888889...
So, yes, the friends will have to share snacks.
Best of Luck!
5*4 equals 20 so her wall is 20 square meters
Given that one litre can cover 10 square meters, she needs 2 litres of paint to cover the wall
