Answer: D.45 inches, 75 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question, first, we have to divide the board's length by the number of parts that conforms the 2 sections.

Since the ratio is 3/5, one section is made of 3 parts and the other section is made of 5 parts. 3+5 = 8 parts

120 / 8 = 15 inches

Each part measures 15 inches.

Now, we have to multiply each part's length by the number of parts that each section has. (3 and 5)

15x 3 = 45 inches

15 x 5 = 75 inches

Write the equation of the parabola in vertex form
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

y = -(x - 2)^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertex form is a(x - b)^2 + c   where  a is a constant and (b, c) is the vertex.

Here b = 2 and c = 0

So we have:

y = a( x - 2)^2 + 0

When x = 4 y = -4 so:

-4 = a( 4 - 2)^2

a = -4/2^2 = -1

So the required equation is

y = -(x - 2)^2.

How do you solve 4y-8x=12
77julia77 [94]
You have to think about what y and x can be equal to for you to get 12. (Hint: y is going to be a bigger number than x)


Ex: 3y-5x=5

Think: 3 x 10(y) - 5 x 5(x)= 5
So, y would be 10 and x would be 5.

12

Step-by-step explanation:

If f(x) = 5 - x

Then f(-7) = 5 - (-7)

f(-7) = 5 + 7

f(-7) = 12
