Axis of symmetry is a line passing through the vertex which divides the curge into two parts such tha each part looks the same.
For y= x^{2} +3x-4, the 'x' part is squared and the coefficient of x^{2} is positive. Hence, the curve will be a parabola facing up which means that the axis of symmetry will be a vertical line. i.e. x = m.
Investigating, f(-1) == (-1)^{2} +3(-1)-4=1-3-4=-6
f(-1.5) = = (-1.5)^{2} +3(-1.5)-4=2.25-4.5-4=-6.25
f(-2) = = (-2)^{2} +3(-2)-4=4-6-4=-6
From these, the curve has a vertex at point (-1.5, -6)
Therefore the axis of symmetry is line x = -1.5 (i.e. the third option)

A jet plane can carry up to 200,000 liters of fuel. It used 130,000 liters of fuel during a flight. What percentage of the fuel
-Dominant- [34]

Given:

Capacity of jet plane = 200,000 liters of fuel

Fuel used during flight = 130,000 liters

To find:

The percentage of the fuel capacity it uses on this flight.

Solution:

According to the question, we need to find 130,000 is what percent of 200,000.

\text{Required percentage}=\dfrac{\text{Fuel used during flight}}{\text{Capacity of jet plane}}\times 100

\text{Required percentage}=\dfrac{130000}{200000}\times 100

\text{Required percentage}=65

Therefore, the jet plane uses 65 percent of fuel capacity during flight.

Please help it is 10th grade Equations of lines and circles 7. Michael is hanging out in the park and needs to keep his so
frosja888 [35]

Step-by-step explanation:

1) the required equation in common form is:

(x-x₀)²+(y-y₀)²=r², where (x₀;y₀) - coordinates, where Michael is standing; r - the social distance;

According to the common form and given coordinates (x₀=-5; y₀=2; r=6) it is possible to make up the required equation:

<u>(x+5)²+(y-2)²=6².</u>

2) if the distance between two friends is:

d=\sqrt{(-5-1)^2+(2-1)^2}=\sqrt{37}, \ then

this distance is longer than social (6 ft). For more info see the attachment.

Step-by-step explanation:

5= 1/5x -3

Add 3 to each side

5+3= 1/5x -3+3

8 = 1/5x

Multiply by 5 to isolate x

5*8 = 1/5x *5

40 =x
