Answer:

m(u) = -0.25(u +2)² +1 or -0.25u² -u

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is fairly easily written in vertex form, as the vertex point is on a grid line intersection at (-2, 1). The parabola opens downward, so the scale factor is negative.

The vertical change from the vertex is only a fraction of a unit when u differs from the vertex by 1. It is 1 unit when u differs from the vertex by 2, so the magnitude of the vertical scale factor is 1/2² = 1/4.

Our equation will be of the form ...

m(u) = (vertical scale factor)(u - (horizontal vertex location))² + (vertical vertex location)

For this graph, the equation is ...

m(u) = -0.25(u +2)² +1

or, simplifying, we get ...

m(u) = -0.25u² -u

The number of candies consumed varies inversely with the number of children present. When 12 children are present,140 pieces of

irinina [24]

Loosely, "varies inversely" means that as one quantity increases, the other decreases. Specifically, if x and y vary inversely, then y = k/x where k is some constant (a particular number).

Another way to write that relationship is xy = k. To find the value of k for this problem, you need a numbers for x and y that go together.

Suppose x = number of children and y = number of candies (it doesn't matter what order these go in as long as you keep track!).

"When 12 children are present, 140 pieces of candy are consumed." So when x = 12, the value of y = 140.

xy = k
(12)(140) = k
1680 = k

Now, when x = 8 children,

8y = 1680
y = 210

Two triangle are congruent when the shape and size of both the triangle are same. The given information is the SAS case.

To find the form of the case we need to know about the triangle congruence theorem.

<h3>What is triangle congruence theorem?</h3>

Two triangle are congruent when the shape and size of both the triangle are same.

Triangle congruence theorem are-

Angle-Side-Angle theorem (AAS)- This theorem states that two triangle is congruent when two angle and one side of the triangle are respectively equal to the two angles and same side of the other triangle.

Side-Side-Side theorem (SSS)- When the three sides of the one triangle is equal to the three sides of the other triangle respectively, then the triangle are congruent.

Side-Angle-Side theorem (SAS)- Two sides and the included angle of are equal to the two sides and one angle of other triangle respectively.

Given information-

Evelyn is 104 meters from the take off.

The angle of elevation of the plane is 12°.

The plane is 100 meters away from the takeoff point.

The distance is 100 meters and 104 meters. The other two sides , as are same and the angle of elevation is also same for this case (12 degrees).

Thus the two triangle formed which are congruent.

As above discussed the case of SAS exists for the triangle congruence theorem.

Hence the given information is the SAS case.
