Answer:

The squared term is 1/25

Step-by-step explanation:

The parabola equation in the vertex form is

y = a \times (x - h)^2 + k

where point (h,k) is the vertex and a is the squared term. In this case h = 2 and k = -4. On the other hand, we know that y = -3 and x = -3 are in the parabola. Replacing these values in the formula gives

-3 = a \times (-3 - 2)^2 - 4

Solving for a

-3 + 4 = a \times (-5)^2

1 = a \times 25

a = \frac{1}{25}

Divide by 2 on both sides.

x = 60

In Mr. Harold's class there are 12 students. They each have 5 pencils. Some of the students, s, each lost 2 pencils. Now, the st
Katena32 [7]
The answer would be C. (12 x 5) - (s x 2) = 38.

This is because if there are 12 students with 5 pencils per student, we can say 12 x 5. Then, think of the phrase, two pencils lost per student. That would be 2s, or (s x 2). Since it’s lost, we would subtract that amount from 12 x 5.
