Answer:
<u> 105</u> students could prefer kiwi if there are 357 total students.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The ratio of students who prefer pineapple to students who prefer kiwi is 12 to 5.
Now, to find number of students prefer kiwi if there are 357 total students.
Let the students prefer pineapple be 
And the students prefer kiwi be 
Total students = 357.
So, we set an equation to get the number of students who prefer kiwi.
According to question:


<em>Dividing both sides by 17 we get:</em>

<em>Thus, students prefer kiwi are:</em>


Therefore, 105 students could prefer kiwi if there are 357 total students.
Suppose that equation of parabola is
y =ax² + bx + c
Since parabola passes through the point (2,−15) then
−15 = 4a + 2b + c
Since parabola passes through the point (-5,-29), then
−29 = 25a − 5b + c
Since parabola passes through the point (−3,−5), then
−5 = 9a − 3b + c
Thus, we obtained following system:
4a + 2b + c = −15
25a − 5b + c = −29
9a − 3b + c = −5
Solving it we get that
a = −2, b = −4, c = 1
Thus, equation of parabola is
y = −2x²− 4x + 1

Rewriting in the form of
(x - h)² = 4p(y - k)
i) -2x² - 4x + 1 = y
ii) -3x² - 7x = y - 11
(-3x² and -7x are isolated)
iii) -3x² - 7x - 49/36 = y - 1 - 49/36
(Adding -49/36 to both sides to get perfect square on LHS)
iv) -3(x² + 7/3x + 49/36) = y - 3
(Taking out -3 common from LHS)
v) -3(x + 7/6)² = y - 445/36
vi) (x + 7/6)² = -⅓(y - 445/36)
(Shifting -⅓ to RHS)
vii) (x + 1)² = 4(-1/12)(y - 445/36)
(Rewriting in the form of 4(-1/12) ; This is 4p)
So, after rewriting the equation would be -
(x + 7/6)² = 4(-⅛)(y - 445/36)

1/3 of an hour is 20 minutes. If show 10 laps in 5 minutes, just divide 20 by 5, which gives you 4, then multiply 4 times 10. She can swim 40 laps in 1/3 of an hour. Hope that helps. Mark Brainliest if it does. Thank you!
This answer is B because it’s negative and less thsn
Yes because volume has 3 dimensions, hence the power of 3
