The EASIEST way to do it, is actually start with the form a(x-b)(x-c) or intercept form since you have intercepts  

x ints at (0,0) and (4,0) so y=ax(x-4)  

sub in (2,-4) it doesn't really matter whether or not its a vertex  

-4=2a(2-4)  

a=1  

so y=x(x-4)  

expand to get y=x^2-4x which is y=ax^2+bx+c form where a=1, b=-4, c=0

V) Find the perimeter of the rectangle whose length is 60m and breadth is 55m
katrin [286]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

l = length

b = breadth

We know the length is twice the breadth, therefore l = 2b

We also know that the perimeter p = 60m and can also be expressed as a sum of its sides where p = l + l + b + b = 60 which simplified is:

60 = 2l + 2b

Now we have 2 variables, but thankfully we were given a ratio (l = 2b) relating the two. Substituting 2b in for l gives us:

60 = 2(2b) + 2b = 4b + 2b = 6b

60 = 6b

b = 10 m

Now that we know the breadth we can find the length:

l = 2b → l = 2(10) = 20 → l = 20 m

With a breadth of 10 m and a length of 20 m

can someone help me with this? this is algebra 2 question and please show me all work (orderd pair, vertex, graph ect..)
Andrews [41]
To find the maximum height you need to find the vertex:(h,k)  
Your equation is in vertex form a(x-h)+k and the vertex is (h,k) where k is the maximum height and the h is the distance it went to reach the maximum height.
k=6 so the kangaroo's maximum height is 6 feet.

To find how long is the kangaroo's jump, take a look at the graph. You will notice that the parabola ends at the distance the kangaroo jumped. You will also see that it is the one of the x-intercepts. 

 
 -.03(x-14)^2+6=0
-.03(x-14)^2+6-6=0-6
-.03(x-14)^2=-6
-.03/-.03(x-14)=-6/-.03
(x-14)^2=200
[(x-14)^2]^.5=200^.5
x-14=(200)^.5
x-14+14=(200)^.5+14
x≈28.14 feet
The kangaroo jumped a distance of 28.14 feet.

You will notice that the square root of a number gives you two solutions a positive and a negative one. The other solution is -.14, which we know distance is not negative so we do not use that solution. Also, I used the ^.5 instead of using the square root. It is the same.

Answers:

  • A) The equation is d = 2t
  • B) Independent variable = time; dependent variable = amount of cookies

=========================================================

Explanation:

The independent variable is always long the horizontal axis. Often this is x, but we are using t in this case.

The variable t represents the amount of time in minutes. For instance, t = 2 means 2 minutes have elapsed. At this time, 4 cookies have been eaten as shown by the point (2,4). As another example, the point (3,6) means that d = 6 cookies have been eaten at time t = 3 minutes.

The equation is d = 2t because the '2' represents the rate of change of "eating 2 cookies per minute". Whatever the time value (t) is, we double it to get the value of d, which is the number of cookies eaten.
