Answer:

9 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

If she took 10 quizzes over the span of 5 weeks, then she took 2 quizzes per week.

This is because:

10 quizzes ÷ 5 weeks = 2 quizzes

We can use this information to solve for 18 quizzes by setting up the equation the same way

If she takes 2 quizzes every week, and ends with 18 finished quizzes, how many total weeks did it take her ?

Variable x = total weeks

18 quizzes ÷ x weeks = 2 quizzes

With division, we can switch x weeks and 2 quizzes

18 quizzes ÷ 2 quizzes = x weeks

18 ÷ 2 = 9

9 weeks

What is the vertex of a parabola having the equation y = –2(x – 5)2 + 7? Which direction does the parabola open?

Vika [28.1K]

$y = -2(x-5)^2 + 7$

That's vertex form for a parabola $y=a(x-p)^2+q$ and we read off vertex (p,q) as

Answer: Vertex (5,7)

The negative a tells us this is a downward opening parabola (upside down from the usual $y=x^2$ . I remember CUP - Concave Up Positive; here a is negative so not a cup, instead concave down. The same rule applies to second derivatives in calculus so memorize it now and use it later.
