Given:

production of electricity in Minnesota in 10^9 kWh

in 2009 = 12 (renewable) = 15% of total production (P)

in 2015 = 25% (renewable) of total production (P)

Total production of the two years are the same.

Solution:

First find P

we know that 12 * 10^9 kWh is 15% of P, or

0.15P=12*10^9

=> P=12*10^9/0.15 = 80*10^9 kWh

For 2015,

25% of P is renewable, therefore

x=0.25P=0.25*80*10^9 kWh = 20 * 10^9 kWh

Hence answer is 20, in units of 10^9 kWh.

Answer: 180 tickets for $40

Step-by-step explanation:

    To answer this question, we need to find a pattern;

15 / 3 = 5

60 / 15 = 4

-> If you divide, we find a pattern of the quotient with 5... 4... so we can assume the next is 3

    Using this pattern;

60 * 3 = 180 tickets for $40

Answer:

y=\frac{1}{6} (x+5)^2-4.5

y=\frac{-1}{20} (x-10)^2+1

Step-by-step explanation:

focus at (-5, -3), and directrix y = -6

Directrix y=-6 so its  a vertical parabola

so equation is

(x-h)^2 = 4p(y-k)

(h,k) is the center

P is the distance between focus and vertex

distance between focus and directrix = 2p

distance between -3  and y=-6 is 3

2p = 3

p = 3/2 or p = 1.5

Focus is (h, k+p)

given focus is (-5, -3) so h= -5  and k+p = -3

k+p=-3, plug in 1.5 for p

k + 1.5 = -3

subtract 1.5 on both sides

k = -4.5

(x-h)^2 = 4p(y-k)

(x+5)^2= 4(1.5) (y+4.5)

(x+5)^2= 6(y+4.5)

divide by 6 on both sides

then subtract 4.5 on both sides

y=\frac{1}{6} (x+5)^2-4.5

focus at (10, -4), and directrix y = 6.

Directrix y=6 so its  a vertical parabola

so equation is

(x-h)^2 = 4p(y-k)

distance between focus and directrix = 2p

distance between -4  and y=6 is -4-6=-10

2p = -10

p = -5

Focus is (h, k+p)

given focus is (10, -4) so h= 10  and k+p = -4

k+p=-4, plug in 5 for p

k - 5 = -4

add 5 on both sides

k = 1

(x-h)^2 = 4p(y-k)

(x-10)^2= 4(-5) (y-1)

(x-10)^2= -20(y-1)

divide by -20 on both sides and add 1 on both sides

y=\frac{-1}{20} (x-10)^2+1
