We know that the points at which the parabola intersects the x axis are
(-5,0) and (1,0)
So the extent between these two points would be the base of the triangle
lets find the length of the base using the distance formula
![\sqrt{[(-5-1)^{2}+(0-0)^{2} ]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Csqrt%7B%5B%28-5-1%29%5E%7B2%7D%2B%280-0%29%5E%7B2%7D%20%5D%7D%20%20)
the base b=6
We will get the height of the triangle when we put x=0 in the equation
y=a(0+5)(0-1)
y=-5a
so height = -5a (we take +5a since it is the height)
We know that the area of the triangle =
× 6 × (5a) = 12
15a=12
a= 
Answer:
f(x)=1x·8= total distance
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) is a function
1= hour
x= how many hours
8= miles
Answer:
Both ratios reduce to the same ratio 3/50, so the restocking fee is proportional.
Step-by-step explanation:
For the $200, the restocking fee is $12, so the ratio of the restocking fee to the price of the item is 12/200.
For the $150, the restocking fee is $9, so the ratio of the restocking fee to the price of the item is 9/150.
Now we find out if the ratios 12/200 and 9/150 are equal.
12/200 = 3/50
9/150 = 3/50
Both ratios reduce to the same ratio 3/50, so the restocking fee is proportional.
