Step-by-step explanation:
Using the properties of logarithms, the left side of the equation becomes
while the right hand side becomes
so we end up with
Because the parabola opens down and the vertex is at (0, 5), we conclude that the correct option is:
y = -(1/8)*x² + 5.
<h3>
Which is the equation of the parabola?</h3>
The relevant information is that we have the vertex at (0, 5), and that the parabola opens downwards.
Remember that the parabola only opens downwards if the leading coefficient is negative. Then we can discard the two middle options.
Now, because the parabola has the point (0, 5), we know that when we evaluate the parabola in x = 0, we should get y = 5.
Then the constant term must be 5.
So the correct option is the first one:
y = -(1/8)*x² + 5.

Answer:
$200
Step-by-step explanation:
2.5 % commission on sales
he sold 8000
his commission will be sales * 2.5%
commission = 8000 * .025
= 200
<h3>Answer:</h3>
C. The playable area has a width of 9 inches and a height of 6 inches.
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
There are a number of ways you can get there.
1. Check the answers to see which have the right area and aspect ratio.
- A: area = 24 in² — does not match 54 in²
- B: area = 54 in², aspect ratio 6:9 = 2:3 — does not match 3:2 aspect ratio
- C: area = 54 in², aspect ratio 9:6 = 3:2 — <em>matches problem statement</em>
- D: area = 121.5 in² — does not match 54 in²
2. If the screen were 3:2 (inches), its area would be 6 in². The area of 54 in² is 9 times that value, so the actual screen dimensions are √9 = 3 times 3:2. That is, they are width:height = 9:6 inches — matches selection C.
3. You can write equations for width and height and solve.
Substituting w=3/2·h into the second equation gives
... (3/2)h·h = 54
... h² = 36 . . . . . multiply by 2/3
... h = √36 = 6 . . . . square root, result in inches . . . . matches selection C
