Since the two angles that you have are vertical angles, we know that vertical angles are congruent, so you have to set them to equal each other.

x+24=5x-36
-4x+24=-36
-4x=-60
x=15

We now have the value of x so now we plug it in for each expression of each angle.

x+24=?
15+24=39

5x-36=?
5(15)-36=?
75-36=39

Firlakuza [10]

You just divide the distance travelled by the time like so: 145mi/2.5h and get 58mph. You can convert the 145mi into meters and 2.5h into seconds (145mi is approximately 233345m; 2.5h is 9000 seconds) and get an approximate speed of 26m/s if you want to convert to SI units.

Write an equation of a parabola that passes through (3,-30) and has x-intercepts of -2 and 18. Then find the average rate of cha

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

The equation of the parabola is $y = \frac{2}{5}\cdot x^{2}-\frac{32}{5}\cdot x -\frac{72}{5}$ . The average rate of change of the parabola is -4.

Step-by-step explanation:

We must remember that a parabola is represented by a quadratic function, which can be formed by knowing three different points. A quadratic function is standard form is represented by:

$y = a\cdot x^{2}+b\cdot x + c$

Where:

$x$ - Independent variable, dimensionless.

$y$ - Dependent variable, dimensionless.

$a$ , $b$ , $c$ - Coefficients, dimensionless.

If we know that $(3, -30)$ , $(-2, 0)$ and $(18, 0)$ are part of the parabola, the following linear system of equations is formed:

$9\cdot a +3\cdot b + c = -30$

$4\cdot a -2\cdot b +c = 0$

$324\cdot a +18\cdot b + c = 0$

This system can be solved both by algebraic means (substitution, elimination, equalization, determinant) and by numerical methods. The solution of the linear system is:

$a = \frac{2}{5}$ , $b = -\frac{32}{5}$ , $c = -\frac{72}{5}$ .
