Answer:
<h3>
f(x) = 6(x - 2)² + 3</h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = a(x - h)² + k - vertex form of the equation of the parabola with vertex (h, k)
"the parabola opens upward" means: a>0
"the parabola has x = 2 as an axis of symmetry" means: h = 2
so f(x) = a(x - 2)² + k
"the parabola contains the point (1, 9)" means:
9 = a(1 - 2)² + k
9 = a(-1)² + k
9 = a + k
k = 9 - a
"the parabola contains the point (4, 27)" means:
27 = a(4 - 2)² + k
so:
27 = a(2)² + 9 - a
27 = 4a + 9 - a
3a = 18
a = 6
and k = 9 - 6 = 3
Therefore the vertex form for this parabola is:
<u> f(x) = 6(x - 2)² + 3</u>
Answer: 983.33
Step-by-step explanation:
(0.5+0.5) x 983.33
1 x 983.33 = 983.33
Answer:
9 Quarters
8 Dimes
3 Nickels
Step-by-step explanation:
We let the number of quarters be q
number of dimes be d
and
number of nickels be n
Since quarters are worth 0.25, dimes are worth 0.10 and nickels are worth 0.05 and total worth is 3.20, we can write an equation as:
0.25q + 0.10d + 0.05n = 3.20
Next,
3 times as many quarters as Nickels, we can write:
q = 3n
and
5 more dimes than nickel, we can write:
d = n + 5
Substituting these last 2 equations in the first and solving for n gives us:
0.25q + 0.10d + 0.05n = 3.20
0.25(3n) + 0.10(n+5) + 0.05n = 3.20
0.75n + 0.10n +0.5 + 0.05n = 3.20
0.9n = 2.70
n = 2.70/0.9 = 3
n = 3
We know q = 3n, so
q = 3(3) = 9
Also, we know d = n + 5, which means:
d = 3 + 5 = 8
Thus,
There are:
9 Quarters
8 Dimes
3 Nickels
