In this problem, it will be helpful to know the vertex form of a parabola, which is listed below:
is a constant which helps to determine whether the parabola opens up or down. If 
, then the parabola opens downward and if 
, the parabola opens upwards
is the vertex of the parabola
By looking at the graph, we can first see that the graph opens downwards, meaning that . Thus, choices C and D are not valid. Now, let's use the vertex of the parabola to complete the equation.
The vertex of this parabola is (-1, 3), as shown by the graph. When we substitute this into our formula, we get:
The answer is a, 
.
Part A:
I have attached the graph of this system of inequalities.
Part B:
Plug in (8,10) into both equations
10 > 3(8) + 10
10 > 24 + 10
10 > 34
This is false!
10 < (-3/4)(8) - 1
10 < (-3)(2) - 1
10 < -6 - 1
10 < -7
This is also false!
So,
(8,10) is not included in the solution area for the system.
A. (-3,2)
B. rt(65)
C. (x+3)^2 + (y-2)^2 = 65
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I am assuming that by "interior" angle you do not mean the central angle.
This is a 10-sided polygon, a decagon. That means that there are 10 triangles that can extend from the center, with their sides being equal to the radii of the decagon. If we extract one of these triangles we can find what the interior angle is. The vertex angle measures 360/10 which is 36.
Split this triangle in half from the vertex to the base, creating a right triangle. The vertex angle is also split in half, making this angle (the vertex angle is the one at the top of the triangle) 18 degrees. We already know that one angle inside this right triangle is 90 (definition of a right triangle) and to find the other one, we apply the Triangle Angle-Sum Theorem:
180 - 18 - 90 = 72 degrees. That is the measure of the base angle that is NOT the right angle, obviously.
