Answer:

y=-\frac{1}{3}x^2+2x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

First we are going to get all of these points into our standard form equation for a parabola, which is:

y=ax^2+bx+c.  We will do this by using the x and y coordinates from each of those 3 coordinate pairs.  In the first pair, x = 3 and y = 8, so filling in:

8=a(3)^2+b(3)+c or 8=9a+3b+c

Next coordinate pair is x = 5 and y = 20/3, so filling in:

\frac{20}{3}=a(5)^2+b(5)+c or \frac{20}{3}=25a+5b+c

Next coodinate pair is x = 6 and y = 5, so filling in:

5=a(6)^2+b(6)+c or 5=36a+6b+c

We will use the first and the third equations and multiply one of them through by a -1 to get rid of the c's:

-1(36a  +  6b  +  c  =  5) = -35a  -  6b  -  c  =  -5

We use the addition/elimination method to eliminate the c's:

- 36a  -  6b  -  c  =  -5

   9a  +  3b  + c  =  8

gives us, when we add:

-27a - 3b = 3

Now we will do the same thing with the first and the second equations to eliminate the c's.  We multiply one of them through by a -1:

-1(8 = 9a + 3b + c) = -8 = -9a - 3b - c

We use the addition/elimination method to eliminate the c's:

-9a  -  3b  -  c  =  -8

25a +  5b  + c  = 20/3

gives us, when we add:

16a+2b=-\frac{4}{3}

Now we will use the addition/elimination method on those 2 bold equations, multiplying through by what we need, in order to solve for a.  The first bold equation will be multiplied through by 2, and the second bold equation will be multiplied through by 3 to give us 2 new equations that are:

-54a  -  6b  =  6

48a  +  6b  = -4

gives us, when we add:

-6a = 2 so

a=-\frac{1}{3}

Going back to the first bold equation, we will fill in our a value to solve for b:

-27(-\frac{1}{3})-3b=3 and

9 - 3b = 3 and

-3b = -6 so

b = 2

Now we will go back up to the very first equation we wrote in terms of a, b, and c and fill in a and b to solve for c:

9(-\frac{1}{3})+3(2)+c=8 and

-3 + 6 + c = 8 and

3 + c = 8 so

c = 5

Our equation, then is:

y=-\frac{1}{3}x^2+2x+5

Answer:

Improper Fraction : $22/5

Decimal : $4.4

Mixed: $4 2/5 ...

Step-by-step explanation:

Sherman Has 3 cats and 2 dogs

Sherman has $22 to spend on pet toys.

To find the answer divide the  overall amount that Sherman has to spend overall which is $22, Now divide it by the amount of pets that he has, 3+2=5

We can write it as:

Improper Fraction : $22/5

The angle looking up at the sun is 70°. A flagpole casts a shadow of 15 ft. Draw a diagram and find the height of the flagpole
deff fn [24]

Answer:

The length of the flagpole be 41.2 ft .

Option (A) is correct .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

The angle looking up at the sun is 70°.

A flagpole casts a shadow of 15 ft .

Now by using the trignometric identity .

tan \theta = \frac{Perpendicular}{Base}

\ theta = 70^{\circ}

tan\ 70^{\circ} = \frac{AB}{BC}

BC = 15 ft

tan 70° = 2.75 (Approx)

2.75 = \frac{AB}{15}

AB = 2.75 × 15

     = 41.2 ft

Therefore the length of the flagpole be 41.2 ft .

Option (A) is correct .
