One form of the equation of a parabola is
y = ax² + bx + c

The curve passes through (0,-6), (-1,-12) and (3,0). Therefore
c = - 6                       (1)
a - b + c = -12            (2)
9a + 3b + c = 0         (3)

Substitute (1) into (2) and into (3).
a - b -6 = -12
a - b = -6                  (4)
9a + 3b - 6 = 0
9a + 3b = 6              (5)

Substitute a = b - 6 from (4) into (5).
9(b - 6) + 3b = 6
12b - 54 = 6
12b = 60
b = 5
a = b - 6 = -1

The equation is
y = -x² + 5x - 6 

Let us use completing the square to write the equation in standard form for a parabola.
y = -[x² - 5x] - 6
   = -[ (x - 2.5)² - 2.5²] - 6
   = -(x - 2.5)² + 6.25 - 6

y = -(x - 2.5)² + 0.25
This is the standdard form of the equation for the parabola.
The vertex us at (2.5, 0.25).
The axis of symmetry is x = 2.5
Because the leading coefficient is -1 (negative), the curve opens downward.
The graph is shown below.

Answer: y = -(x - 2.5)² + 0.25

Find 8.5 times the difference between 77 and 13
Anton [14]

Answer:

544

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement 8.5 times the difference between 77 and 13 can be expressed mathematically as 8.5×(77-13)

According to BODMAS, we will deal with the expression in the bracket first to have;

8.5×64

Then we the product of the resulting expression.

8.5×64

= 544

The answer is 544

FUNDRAISING A school is raising money by selling calendars for $20 each. Mrs. Hawkins promised a party to whichever of her Engli
____ [38]

Rj, this is the solution to question 19:

• 1st period class sold 60 calendars in total

,

• 2nd period class sold 123 calendars in total

We calculate the average per week, this way:

• 1st period class sold 60/4 = 15 calendars per week

,

• 2nd period class sold 123/4 = 30.75 calendars per week

In consequence the multiplication equation that represents this situation is:

15w + 30.75w = 183, where w is the number of weeks Mrs. Hawkins' classes sold calendars.

This is the solution to question 20:

We already know the average number of calendars that 1st and 2nd period classes sold per week. Now, let's calculate the average for 3nd 4th peiod classes, this way:

• 3rd period class sold 89 calendars in total

,

• 4th period class sold 126 calendars in total

Therefore, the average is:

• 3rd period class sold 89/4 = 22.25 calendars per week

,

• 4th period class sold 126/4 = 31.5 calendars per week

Summarizing, we have:

15 + 30.75 + 22.25 + 31.5 = 99.5 calendars was the average number sold by all her classes in a week.

Las+salchichas+vienen+en+paquetes+de+6+y+los+panes+para+panchos+se+envasan+en+paquetes+de+8+unidades+¿Es+cierto+que+si+se+prepar
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

Es cierto se usan 16 paquetes de salchichas y 12 paquetes de panes para pancho.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lo que debemos hacer en este caso es dividir la cantidad total de panchos primero por la cantidad de unidades de salchichas que vienen en su paquete y segundo por la cantidad de unidades de panes para panchos que vienen en su paquete, si el resultado nos da un numero entero podemos decir que usa una cantidad completa de paquetes de salchichas y de panes:

96/6 = 16

96/8 = 12

Es decir que para 96 panchos se usan 16 paquetes de salchichas y 12 paquetes de panes para pancho, por lo tanto es cierto.
