C. 3/2
I took the quiz and it was right!!!
Answer:
f(x) = (x + 4)^2 - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Parent function: f(x) = x^2
To show this in a way that may look more familiar, f(x) = 1(x - 0)^2 + 0
Vertex form: f(x) = a(x - h)^2 + k
We know a = 1, because the slope is the same as the parent function.
Vertex: (h,k)
We can see that the vertex of the graph is (-4, -5)
So h = -4 and k = -5
Now all we need to do is plug the variables into our equation.
f(x) = a(x - h)^2 + k
f(x) = 1(x + 4)^2 - 5
f(x) = (x + 4)^2 - 5
Let's first find the speed Sue can run at in miles per hour.
Sue runs 1/6 mile in 1/10 hour.
To find the speed (the unit rate) we divide the distance by the time.
Sue's speed = (1/6 mile)/(1/10 hour) = 1/6 * 10/1 miles/hour = 10/6 miles/hour = 5/3 miles/hour
Bill's speed is 1/4 of Sue's speed, so we divide Sue's speed by 4 to find Bill's speed.
Bill's speed = (5/3 mph)/4 = (5/3 mph) * 1/4 = 5/12 mph
Bill's speed is 5/12 miles per hour.
Bill can run 5/12 of a mile in an hour.
30 minutes is half an hour, so in half an hour, he runs half of 5/12 of a mile.
Answer: Bill can run 5/24 of a mile in 30 minutes.
