Answer:

The answer is the negative value of "a".

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine the answer, we have to know about the general form of the quadratic function.

The general form is:

f(x)=ax^2+bx+c

where a , b and c are real numbers and a not equal to zero.

I have attached an image that shows the general graph of the quadratic function. We can see that:

  • If the value of "a" is positive, the parabola opens up.
  • If the value of "a" is negative, the parabola opens down.

It depends on the coefficient next to the quadratic variable.

Finally, the negative value of "a" makes that the parabola opens down.

1. P = 2(9) + 2(4.5)
P = 18 + 9
P = 27 m

2. P = 5.2(2) + 1.3(2)
P = 10.4 + 2.6
P = 13 ft

3. P = 12.9(2) + 4.7(2)
P = 25.8 + 9.4
P = 35.2 cm

A rectangular prism has the following dimensions. length: 18 inches width: 1 foot height: 14 inches If all the dimensions of thi
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

11,448 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area can be computed from ...

... A = 2(LW +H(L+W))

For the given prism, the area will be ...

... A = 2(18·12 +14(18+12)) = 2(216 +420) = 1272 . . . . in²

The area of a similar figure with dimensions 3 times as long will be 3² times as much. The area of the new figure is ...

... A = 3²×(1272 in²) = 11,448 in²

What is the mean absolute deviation of 26 43 48 29 16 30
Serhud [2]
The mean absolute deviation of a number set is the average distance between each value and the mean.<span> This is obtained by finding the mean of the set, determining the absolute value difference between each number, and the mean and calculating the average of these differences.
The mean of the set is ( 26 + 43 + 48 + 29 + 16 + 30 ) / 6 = 32 ;
</span> the absolute value difference between each number:
/ 26 - 32 / = 6 ; / 43 - 32 / = 11 ; / 48 - 32 / = 16 ; / 29 - 32 / = 3 ; / 16 - 32 / = 16 ;
 / 30 - 32 / = 2 ;

the mean absolute deviation of 26 43 48 29 16 30 is ( 6 + 11 + 16 + 3 + 16 + 2 ) / 6 = 9 ;
