Answer: Mark has 28 marbles while Don has 85 marbles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of marbles that Mark has.

Let y represent the number of marbles that Don has.

If Don has 1 more than 3 times the number of marbles Mark has, it means that

y = 3x + 1

The total number of marbles is 113. It means that

x + y = 113- - - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting y = 3x + 1 into equation 1, it becomes

x + 3x + 1 = 113

4x + 1 = 113

4x = 113 - 1 = 112

x = 112/4

x = 28

y = 3x + 1 = 3 × 28 + 1

y = 85

The table represents a quadratic function. Write an equation of the function in standard form.
kakasveta [241]

The equation of the quadratic function in standard form as required in the task content is; f(x) = -x² + 12x - 43.

<h3>Standard form equation of a quadratic function.</h3>

It follows from the task content that the standard form equation of the quadratic function is to.be determined.

Since the standard form equation can be derived from the vertex form equation as follows;

f(x) = a (x - h)² + k

f(x) = a (x - 6)² - 7

Hence, to find the value of a, Substitute x = 8 and f(x) = -11 so that we have;

-11 = a (8 - 6)² - 7

-11 = 4a - 7

4a = -4

a = -1.

Hence, the equation in vertex form is; f(x) = -1 (x -6)² - 7 and when expressed in standard form we have;

f(x) = -1(x² - 12x + 36) - 7

f(x) = -x² + 12x - 43

Therefore, the required equation in standard form is; f(x) = -x² + 12x - 43.

Here you have an equilateral triangle. Because of this you know that all angles are also the same as each other. We know that the angles in an equilateral triangle are 60°.

so let's set 7x + 4 = 60
Subtract 4 from both sides: 7x = 56
Divide both sides by 7: x = 8
