Answer:

The vertex would be D) (-2, -32)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the vertex , start by find the x-value. For this we can use the equation below.

x = -b/2a

In which a is the coefficient of x^2 and b is the coefficient of x.

x = -b/2a

x = -(8)/2(2)

x = -8/4

x = -2

Now that we have x, we find y by plugging -2 in for each x.

y = 2x^2 + 8x - 24

y = 2(-2)^2 + 8(-2) - 24

y = 2(4) - 16 - 24

y = 8 - 16 - 24

y = -32

A ship leaves port at 1:00 P.M. and travels S35°E at the rate of 27 mi/hr. Another ship leaves the same port at 1:30 P.M. and tr

Len [333]

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. You must apply the Law of Cosines, as you can see in the figure attached. Then:

- The first ship travels at $27 mi/hr$ in for two hours. Therefore, the side $a$ is:

$a=(27 mi/hr)(2 hr)=54mi$

- The second ship travels at $18 mi/hr$ for $1.5 hours$ . Therefore, the side $b$ is:

$b=(18mi/hr)(1.5hr)=27mi$

- Now, you can calculate $c$ :

$c=\sqrt{54^{2}+27^{2}-2(54)(27)Cos(55)}=44 mi$

The answer is: $44 miles$

Consider the expression √(√625).

const2013 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Square Root - Finding a number that multiplies itself twice into the number within the square root

With this meaning, we need to find a number that multiplies itself into 625.

Finding calculations using exponents will help,

25^2 is equal to 625. Therefore $\sqrt{25}$

We are not finished, as there is another square root right after, empowering the parenthesis, so what number multiplies itself equals 25?

This would be 5, therefore $\sqrt{(\sqrt{625}) }$ is equal to 5.
