This is a parabola, first, locate the line of symmetry.
the line of symmetry is x=-b/2a
in this case, b=-2, a=-1, so the line of symmetry is x=-1
when x=-1, f(x)=-(-1)²-2(-1)-3=-2
locate the point (-1,-2) on the grid. this point is the vertex.
get two pairs of points with x=-1 as the symmetry line:
(0, -3) and (-2, -3); (1,-6) and (-3,-6)
connect these five points into a parabola, stick out at the ends because it will extend forever downward.
Part A
The equation is b = 36*a or simply b = 36a
We take the size of the farm 'a' and multiply it by 36 to get the number of bushels of corn 'b'.
-----------------------------------
Part B
The 36 means there are 36 times more bushels of corn compared to the size of the farm in acres
For example, if the size is 2 acres then
b = 36*a
b = 36*2
b = 72
yielding 72 bushels of corn
-----------------------------------
Part C
Along the first row you should have: 25 and 30 in the missing blanks (over 900 and 1080 respectively)
You find this by dividing the value of b over 36
eg: b/36 = 900/36 = 25
-------
Then along the bottom row you should have the following for the blanks: 0, 360, 1800
These values are found by multiplying the 'a' value by 36
eg: if a = 10 then b = 36*a = 36*10 = 360
-----------------------------------
Part D
Plot any two points you want from the table back in part C
So plot say (0,0) and (10,360). Then draw a straight line through those two points.
-----------------------------------
Part E
The point (30,1080) means a = 30 and b = 1080
So if the farm is 30 acres, then it can produce 1080 bushels of corn
Notice how
b = 36*a
b = 36*30 <<-- replace 'a' with 30
b = 180
And how this matches up with the fourth column of the table in part C. So you can use this part to get a hint of how to fill out the table (or at least know what one column looks like)
Answer:
Number of people that can be served 7 ladles = 100 people
Step-by-step explanation:
We are told that;
Initial number of ladles proposed per person = 5
Number of persons to be fed based on 5 ladles = 140 persons
Thus, amount of ladles based on that data is;
140 people x 5 ladle/1 person = 700 ladles full of soup
Now, since the cook decides to give 7 ladles full of soup to each person, the number of people that can be fed will now be;
700 ladles ÷ 7 ladles/person = 100 persons
Answer:
D. 100
Step-by-step explanation:
Mean = Sum of all numbers divided by the count of all numbers
Mean = 50
Let say that the sum of all numbers = X
50 = X / 4
200 = X
X = (20+30+50) + The 4th Value
200 = 100 + 4th Value
The 4th Value = 100
