Answer: the base is 28 inches. The altitude is 9 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h represent the altitude of the sign.

Let b represent the length if the base of the sign.

The warning sign is triangular in shape.

The formula for determining the area of a triangle is expressed as

Area = 1/2bh

The base of the sign is 9 inches longer than the altitude. This means that

b = h + 9

If the area of the sign is 266 square inches, it means that

266 = 1/2 × h(h + 9)

266 × 2 = h(h + 9)

532 = h² + 9h

h² + 9h - 532 = 0

h² + 28h - 19h - 532 = 0

h(h + 28) - 19(h + 28) = 0

h(h + 28) - 19(h + 28) = 0

(h + 28)(h - 19) = 0

h = 19 or h = - 28

Since the height cannot be negative, then h = 19

b = h + 9 = 10 + 9

b = 28

Determine the vertex of the function f(x) = 3(x − 2)2 + 1.
anastassius [24]

The vertex point of the function f(x) = 3(x - 2)² + 1 is (2 , 1) ⇒ answer A

Step-by-step explanation:

Any quadratic function represented graphically by a parabola

1. If the coefficient of x² is positive, then the parabola open upward

  and its vertex is a minimum point

2. If the coefficient of x² is negative, then the parabola open

   downward and its vertex is a maximum point

3. The standard form of the quadratic function is: f(x) = ax² + bx + c

    where a, b , c are constants

4. The vertex form of the quadratic function is: f(x) = a(x - h)² + k,

     where h , k are the coordinates of its vertex point

∵ The function f(x) = 3(x - 2)² + 1

∵ The f(x) = a(x - h)² + k in the vertex form

∴ a = 3 , h = 2 , k = 1

∵ h , k are the coordinates of the vertex point

∴ The coordinates of the vertex point are (2 , 1)

The vertex point of the function f(x) = 3(x - 2)² + 1 is (2 , 1)

Amanda, Rafael, and Michael served a total of 92 orders Monday at the school cafeteria. Rafael served 2 times as many orders as
Schach [20]

The number of orders Michael, Rafael and Amanda served are 16.8, 33.6, and 41.6 servings

respectively.

<h3>Equation</h3>

  • Michael = x
  • Rafael = 2x
  • Amanda = 2x + 8
  • Total servings = 92 orders

x + 2x + (2x + 8) = 92

3x + 2x + 8 = 92

5x = 92 - 8

5x = 84

x = 84/5

x = 16.8 servings

Therefore,

Michael = x

= 16.8 servings

Rafael = 2x

= 2(16.8)

= 33.6 servings

Amanda = 2x + 8

= 33.6 + 8

= 41.6 servings
