Answer: y = -2/3(x-3)^2 + 0 or y = -2/3(x-3)^2
Step-by-step explanation:
vertex form is y=a(x-h)^2 + k
here we can see the vertex is (3,0) which is (x,y). Or (h,k) in this case.
so to plug that into vertex form, we now have y=a(x-3)^2 + 0. or just y=a(x-3)^2.
now we need to find "a" which is the leading coefficient. to do that we can plug in the (6,-6) for the x and y parts of the above equation. so we'd have
-6=a(6-3)^2. which goes to -6=a(2)^2 which is -6=4a. divide each side by 4 to get a = -2/3. plug this in for a
the final equation would be y = -2/3(x-3)^2 + 0 or y = -2/3(x-3)^2
answer is C. 252 ft^2
split the figure into two pieces and first figure out the rectangle (shown in turquoise).
If you multiply the width and length (18*6) you should get 108.
Then figure out the trapezoid (in magenta). the formula is (a+b)/2*h where a and b are the bases and h is the height. the bases are given, 6 and 18. to find the height, subtract the entire figure's height by 6, which is 18-6 and gives us 12. so the formula converted to this problem is (6+18)/2*12. simplify parenthesis and get 24/2*12. 24/2=12, so multiply 12*12. The area of the trapezoid is 144. Add the areas of both figures together and get 252.
So if we want to know the least amount, we first want to assume the other two games both had a score of 52, so we can say the last one had the least possible.
So if both got 52, the total points would be 104, for two games of 52 points. Since we want 141 points, we therefore want 37 more points to reach 141.
So the least amount of points a player could've scored in one of the games was 37.
