The answer is:  - 6 .
_____________________________________________

Evaluate the value INSIDE the "bars". 
  b - a  =  -2  -  4  = -6 .  The absolute value of the value inside inside the bars is the "positive" number of that value.  The value is negative 6; so, the absolute value, or "magnitude", of "-6", is "6";  Then, then "-" (6) = -6.  So the answer is: -6 .

Jan left her home and drove for 5.2 hours due north at a rate of 60 miles per hour. After visiting a friend, she drove due south
Andreyy89

Answer:

180 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Going North

<em><u>Formula</u></em>

d = r * t

<em><u>Givens</u></em>

r = 60 mph

t = 5.2 hours

d = ?

<em><u>Solution</u></em>

d = 5.2 * 60 = 312 miles north

Going South

<em><u>Givens</u></em>

r = 55 mph

t = 2.4 hours

<em><u>Solution</u></em>

d = r * t

d = 55 * 2.4

d = 132

Distance from home

Formula: Distance from home = Distance North - Distance South

Distance North = 312  -   132 = 180 miles

Answer quickly, please. I need this. I will give brainliest to whoever answers first. You also get 25 points for this

** DISCLAMIER** am not completely sure. Please do not use my answer unless you are very desperate.

since O,R correspond with A,N I think you half F on each side and add it to 11.2 so
10 divided by 2 = 5
7 is already half.
5 + 7 is 12
12 + 11.2 = 23.2

IF THIS IS WRONG TRY 17
reason for 17:
10 + 7 = 17
If you look at both lines they look the same length as A, N.

write the equation of the parabola and a vertex form and standard form given the following information​
beks73 [17]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

(9)

Here (h, k) = (3, - 2), thus

y = a(x - 3)² - 2

To find a substitute (2, 3) into the equation

3 = a(2 - 3)² - 2 ( add 2 to both sides )

5 = a(- 1)² = a , then

y = 5(x - 3)² - 2 ← in vertex form

y = 5(x² - 6x + 9) - 2

   = 5x² - 30x + 45 - 2

y = 5x² - 30x + 43 ← in standard form

(10)

Here (h, k) = (2, - 5), thus

y = a(x - 2)² - 5

To find a substitute (5, 4) into the equation

4 = a(5 - 2)² - 5 ( add 5 to both sides )

9 = a(- 3)² = 9a ( divide both sides by 9 )

a = 1

y = (x - 2)² - 5 ← in vertex form

y = x² - 4x + 4 - 5

y = x² - 4x - 1 ← in standard form
