D is between c and e, ce=17.1 and de=8 find cd

The answer would be 11 gallons.

The tub starts with 32 gallons. Every minute it loses 3 gallons.

So after 1 minute it has lost 3 gallons. For example:
32-3= 29 Meaning that after 1 minute the tub has 29 gallons left.

Now you have to remember that the tub is draining for 7 minutes. So it is losing 3 gallons 7 times, because it loses 3 gallons each minute and there are 7 minutes.

We can use multiplication to find how many gallons the tub loses after 7 minutes. This sign “X” basically means “groups of”. We have 7 groups of 3, or
7 X 3

This is the same as saying we have 3, 7 times. Written like this:

3+3 +3 +3 +3 +3 +3 = 21

So after 7 minutes the tub has lost 21 gallons.

Now we take the original number of gallons and take away what was lost:

32-21=11

So there are 11 gallons left after 7 minutes.

Please let me know if you need any further explanation. Hope this helped.

What is the equation written in vertex from of a parabola with a vertex of (4, –2) that passes through (2, –14)?

vichka [17]

Answer:

y = -3(x - 4)² - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the vertex, (4, -2), and the point (2, -14):

We can use the vertex form of the quadratic equation:

y = a(x - h)² + k

Where:

(h, k) = vertex

a = determines whether the graph opens up or down, and it also makes the parent function wider or narrower.

positive value of a = opens upward
negative value of a = opens downward
a is between 0 and 1, (0 < a < 1) the graph is wider than the parent function.
a > 1, the graph is narrower than the parent function.

h = determines how far left or right the parent function is translated.

h = positive, the function is translated h units to the right.
h = negative, the function is translated |h| units to the left.

k determines how far up or down the parent function is translated.

k = positive: translate k units up.
k = negative, translate k units down.

Now that I've set up the definitions for each variable of the vertex form, we can determine the quadratic equation using the given vertex and the point:

vertex (h, k): (4, -2)

point (x, y): (2, -14)

Substitute these values into the vertex form to solve for a:

y = a(x - h)² + k

-14 = a(2 - 4)² -2

-14 = a (-2)² -2

-14 = a4 + -2

Add to to both sides:

-14 + 2 = a4 + -2 + 2

-12 = 4a

Divide both sides by 4 to solve for a:

-12/4 = 4a/4

-3 = a

Therefore, the quadratic equation inI vertex form is:

y = -3(x - 4)² - 2

The parabola is downward-facing, and is vertically compressed by a factor of -3. The graph is also horizontally translated 4 units to the right, and vertically translated 2 units down.

Attached is a screenshot of the graph where it shows the vertex and the given point, using the vertex form that I came up with.

A n =−1+3(n−1) an=−1+3(n−1) what is the 55 term in the sequence

Sindrei [870]

ANSWER

$a_{55}=161$

EXPLANATION

The general term for the sequence is

$a_n=-1+3(n-1)$

To find the 55th term, we have to substitute
$n = 55$
in to the general term and simplify.

This implies that,

$a_{55}=-1+3(55-1)$

$a_{55}=-1+3(54)$

$a_{55}=-1+162$

$a_{55}=161$

Therefore the 55th term is 161.
