.12×10^5

... i got this by taking the first number 8 and then counting the places behind the 8 which would be 5 so than you move the decimal place by 5 so you get 8.12 then you show theirs 5 places behind the 8 by adding the 10^5 so you get 8.12×105

5/8 ≠ (3/4 + 1/16) because 5/8 < 3/4 EXPLAIN THIS PROBLEM AND WHAT IT MEANS

balu736 [363]

5/8 = 3/4+1/16 is false because, the final values compared on each side of equation is not the same

- 5/8 = 0.625
- 3/4+1/16 = 0.8125

0.625 = 0.8125, it is not equal but less than

Find the equation, (f(x) = a(x - h)2 + k), for a parabola containing point (2, -1) and having (4, -3) as a vertex. What is the s

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

$f(x)=\frac{1}{2}x^2-4x+5$

Step-by-step explanation:

A parabola is written in the form

$f(x)=a((x-h)^2+k)$ (1)

where:

$h$ is the x-coordinate of the vertex of the parabola

$ak$ is the y-coordinate of the vertex of the parabola

$a$ is a scale factor

For the parabola in the problem, we know that the vertex has coordinates (4,-3), so we have:

$h=4$ (2)

$ak=-3$

From this last equation, we get that $a=\frac{-3}{k}$ (3)

Substituting (2) and (3) into (1) we get the new expression:

$f(x)=-\frac{3}{k}((x-4)^2+k) = -\frac{3}{k}(x-4)^2 -3$ (4)

We also know that the parabola contains the point (2,-1), so we can substitute

x = 2

f(x) = -1

Into eq.(4) and find the value of k:

$-1=-\frac{3}{k}(2-4)^2-3\\-1=-\frac{3}{k}\cdot 4 -3\\2=-\frac{12}{k}\\k=-\frac{12}{2}=-6$

So we also get:

$a=-\frac{3}{k}=-\frac{3}{-6}=\frac{1}{2}$

So the equation of the parabola is:

$f(x)=\frac{1}{2}((x-4)^2 -6)$ (5)

Now we want to rewrite it in the standard form, i.e. in the form

$f(x)=ax^2+bx+c$

To do that, we simply rewrite (5) expliciting the various terms, we find:

$f(x)=\frac{1}{2}((x^2-8x+16)-6)=\frac{1}{2}(x^2-8x+10)=\frac{1}{2}x^2-4x+5$

Kenzie has. 4 pages of homework to do. If she can finish 1/3 of a page in one hour how many hours will her homework take?

Maru [420]

Answer:

It will take her 4 1/3 hours

Step-by-step explanation: so you know you needed to add 4 and 1/3 and you turn the 4 into 4/1 and 1/3 and since it adding you have to have the same denominator and you multiply 1x3 and if you do it on the bottom you have to do it on top so you also do 4x3 and 4x3 is 12 and one 1x3 is 3 and so you don't have to have to do it on the other fraction because now they have the same denominator now and now you add 12/3 + 1/3 and you shall get 13/3 and then you divide 13 divided by 3 and you shall get 4 1/3 and that shall be your answer.

hope it helps you!
