Vertex form of a parabola
<span>y = a (x - h)^2 + k </span>
<span>where (h, k) is the vertex </span>
Substituting the values of h and k.
we get,
<span>y = a(x + 4)^2 + 2 </span>
<span>substituting in the point (0, -30) for x and y
</span><span>-30 = a (0 + 4)^2 + 2
</span>solve for a,
<span>-30 = 16 a + 2 </span>
<span>-32 = 16 a </span>
<span>-2 = a </span>
<span>y = -2(x + 4)^2 + 2 </span>
<span>Put y = 0 </span>
<span>-2 x^2 - 16 x - 30 = 0 </span>
<span>-2(x^2 + 8 x + 15) = 0 </span>
<span>x^2 + 8 x + 15 = 0 </span>
<span>(x + 3)(x + 5) = 0 </span>
<span>x = -3
x = -5</span>
It is just the difference between the signs
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Let's set up a proportion using the following setup:

We know that the florist can arrange 4 in 92 minutes.

We don't know how many the florist can arrange in 207 minutes, so we say x arrangements can be completed in 207 minutes.


Solve for x by isolating it on one side of the proportion.
x is being divided by 207. The inverse of division is multiplication. Multiply both sides of the proportion by 207.




The florist can arrange <u>9 arrangements</u> in 207 minutes.
