Answer:
1.30/5 = 0.26
1.84/8 = 0.23
the eight boxes are the better deal
Answer: choice C) -15x^4y
-----------------------------------------
Explanation:
The coefficients are -3 and 5. They are the numbers to the left of the variable terms
Multiply the coefficients to get -3*5 = -15. So -15 is the coefficient in the answer
Multiply the x terms to get x^3 times x = x^(3+1) = x^4. Notice the exponents are being added
Do the same for the y terms as well: y^2 times y^(-1) = y^(2+(-1)) = y^(2-1) = y^1 = y
So we have a final coefficient of -15, the x terms simplify to x^4 and the y terms simplify to just y
Put this all together and we end up with -15x^4y which is what choice C is showing
We know that
the equation of a vertical parabola in vertex form
y=a*(x-h)²+k
(h,k)------> (0,5)
y=a*(x-0)²+5
y=a*x²+5
substitute the point (2,9) in the equation
9=a*(2)²+5------> 9=4*a+5-------> 4*a=9-5-----> 4*a=4-----> a=1
the equation of the vertical parabola is
y=x²+5
the equation of a horizontal parabola in vertex form
x=a*(y-k)²+h
(h,k)------> (0,5)
x=a*(y-5)²+0
x=a*(y-5)²
substitute the point (2,9) in the equation
2=a*(9-5)²------> 2=16*a------> a=1/8
the equation of the horizontal parabola is
x=(1/8)*(y-5)²
the answer isthe equation of the vertical parabola is y=x²+5
the equation of the horizontal parabola is x=(1/8)*(y-5)²
