<h3>
Answer: Negative</h3>
Reason:
The template
applies to any quadratic to graph out a parabola. The coefficient for the x^2 term is 'a', and it solely determines whether the parabola opens upward or downward.
If 'a' is negative, then the parabola opens downward. The way to remember this is that 'a' being negative forms a negative frown.
On the other hand if 'a' is positive, then it forms a positive smile, and the parabola opens upward.
In this case, the points are fairly close to a parabola opening downward. This means 'a' is negative and a < 0.
We have to find the mass of the gold bar.
We have gold bar in the shape of a rectangular prism.
The length, width, and the height of the gold bar is 18.00 centimeters, 9.21 centimeters, and 4.45 centimeters respectively.
First of all we will find the volume of the gold bar which is given by the volume of rectangular prism:
Volume of the gold bar 
Plugging the values in the equation we get,
Volume of the gold bar 
Now that we have the volume we can find the mass by using the formula,

The density of the gold is 19.32 grams per cubic centimeter. Plugging in the values of density and volume we get:
grams
So, the mass of the gold bar is 14252.769 grams
Answer:
The correct scientific notation for the number 500.0 is 
Step-by-step explanation:
While writing a large number in scientific notation we do below mentioned two things.
- We take any number between 1 and 10
- Then we multiply this number with an exponent of 10.
Hence, any number in scientific notation is in the form 
Here a is any number between 1 and 10.
b is exponent of 10.
Now, writing 500 in scientific notation, we take a = 5
Hence, we have to take b = 2, since 5 multiplied by 100 equas 500.
Thus, we have

1. A. 550 meters.
this is because 2.5 km = 2500 meters, since there are 1000 meters in one kilometer.
therefore, 2500 - 1950 = 550 meters.
2. B. 126 inches.
this is because there are 12 inches in one foot, so we multiply 12 by 10 since there are 10 full feet. this leaves us with 120. then, we add half a foot, which is 6 inches. therefore, it is 126 :)
