21_____9
52.5_____x

X:52.5 * 9 / 22.5
X: 472.5/21
X: 22.5

When y=21 and x=9
21/9
which means that to go from x to y, you multiply x by 2.33
2.33x=y

2.33x=52.5
divide both sides by 2.33
x=22.53 (when rounded)

so when y=52.5, x=22.53

Answer:

$\large\boxed{y=\dfrac{1}{4}x^2-x-4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form:

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

(h, k) - vertex

The focus is

$\left(h,\ k+\dfrac{1}{4a}\right)$

We have the vertex (2, -5) and the focus (2, -4).

Calculate the value of a using $k+\dfrac{1}{4a}$

k = -5

$-5+\dfrac{1}{4a}=-4$ add 5 to both sides

$\dfrac{1}{4a}=1$ multiply both sides by 4

$4\!\!\!\!\diagup^1\cdot\dfrac{1}{4\!\!\!\!\diagup_1a}=4$

$\dfrac{1}{a}=4\to a=\dfrac{1}{4}$

Substitute

$a=\dfrac{1}{4},\ h=2,\ k=-5$

to the vertex form of an equation of a parabola:

$y=\dfrac{1}{4}(x-2)^2-5$

The standard form:

$y=ax^2+bx+c$

Convert using

$(a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2$

$y=\dfrac{1}{4}(x^2-2(x)(2)+2^2)-5\\\\y=\dfrac{1}{4}(x^2-4x+4)-5$

use the distributive property: a(b+c)=ab+ac

$y=\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)(x^2)+\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)(-4x)+\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)(4)-5\\\\y=\dfrac{1}{4}x^2-x+1-5\\\\y=\dfrac{1}{4}x^2-x-4$

If 7 people each eat 3/8 pound of potato salad, how much potato salad will be eaten in all?

Nikitich [7]

1 people eat 3/8 pound of potato salad lets reoresent it：
x=3/8
Lets say n is the value of how many people ate with 7 people
7x=n
now substitute
7x=n
7(3/8)=n
21/8=n
n=2 5/8

Click on the graph below to create a triangle with vertices at the following points.

KatRina [158]

Well, since you didn’t upload the picture we can’t really show you the points, but all you do, is for the first one you go 5 up on the graph, and 0 to the side. and then just keep going!
