If the order of the numbers in the question are the order Darrin put theem in then no, his work is not correct. this is because 7.25 is not greater than 7.52. the real order should be 7.52,7.25, 5.72, 5.27
Answer:
7x+10 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the perimeter add up all the sides
There are 5 sides
3x+ 5+ 2x+2x+5
Combine like terms
3x+2x+2x +5+5
7x + 10
The perimeter is 7x+10 cm
Vertex: (-5,-2); parabola opens up;
General form of the equation for a vertical parabola opening up is:
y-k = a(x-h)^2; knowing that the vertex is at (-5,-2), we can write:
y+2 = a(x+5)^2. We need to find the value of the coefficient a.
From the graph we see that y is 10 when x is approx. -1 3/4 (or -7/4).
subst. these values into y+2 = a(x+5)^2, we get:
10 + 2 = a(-7/4 + 5)^2, or 12 = a(13/4)^2, or 1 = a(169/16).
Solving for a: a = 16/169 = 0.09, or approx 16/160, or 1/10. Unfortunately, this is not close to any of the four answer choices.
I thought it best to try again, and fortunately my second try was correct:
10+2 = a(13/4)^2, or (169/16)a. Thus, 12 = a(169/16)
12
Solving for a: a = ------------- = 1.14. The answer choice closest to this is 1.
169/16
Answer A is correct.
