The point (-1, -4) lies in the third quadrant
Hello there!
We have the following equation:
c + p = 15 (c = carrots, p = potatoes)
Previously, we had this equation:
2 + 4 = 6.
2 is 1/3 of 6, and 4 is 2/3 of 6. The sum of these two fractions make a whole.
Let's apply this rule to 15 servings.
Since we are looking for thirds, divide 15 by 3 to solve for 1/3, or "p".
15 / 3 = 5
We have 5 potatoes.
Now, we must remember that the amount of carrots is twice the amount of potatoes.
Divide 15 by 3, then multiply that quotient by 2.
15 / 3 = 5
5 * 2 = 10
We have 10 carrots.
Your final answer is:
Winston will need 5 potatoes and 10 carrots.
I hope this helps!
Answer: a = -5
Heyy, so with this question you would have to substiute 1 for x because normally the coordinates have x first then y. E.g. (x,y)
soo, f(1) = a(1)^2 +5
then, f(1) = a + 5
then equate to zero. E.g. a+5=0
then move over 5 to other side E.g. a=-5
soo.. yah.. pretty sure haha :)
