Let the reg. price be r.

Then 0.20r = $15, and r = $75.

The price is r.

Then 0.20r = $15, and r = $75.

Which of the following is the graph of the quadratic function? y=x^2+4-12

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

Graph B

Step-by-step explanation:

The solutions to a quadratic equation are the points on which we have the graph of the curve touching the x-axis

Now the first thing we will do here is to solve the quadratic equation graph;

x^2 + 4x -12 = 0

x^2 +6x - 2x -12 = 0

x (x + 6) -2(x + 6) = 0

(x-2)(x + 6) = 0

x = 2 or -6

So the graph that touches the x-axis at the points x = 2 and x = -6 is the solution to the quadratic equation

Graph B is the closest to what we have as answer

What are the endpoint coordinates for the midsegment of △PQR that is parallel to PQ¯¯¯¯¯?

andriy [413]

Answer:

M(x₄ ,y₄) = (-3.5 , 0.5) and

N (x₅ ,y₅) = ( -1 , -0.5 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the endpoint coordinates for the mid segment of △PQR that is parallel to PQ be

M(x₄ ,y₄) and N(x₅ ,y₅) such that MN || PQ

point P( x₁ , y₁) ≡ ( -3 ,3 )

point Q( x₂ , y₂) ≡ (2 , 1 )

point R( x₂ , y₂) ≡ (-4 , -2)

To Find:

M(x₄ ,y₄) = ? and

N (x₅ ,y₅) = ?

Solution:

We have Mid Point Formula as

$Mid\ point(x,y)=(\frac{x_{1}+x_{2} }{2}, \frac{y_{1}+y_{2} }{2})$

As M is the mid point of PR and N is the mid point of RQ so we will have

$Mid\ pointM(x_{4} ,y_{4})=(\frac{x_{1}+x_{3} }{2}, \frac{y_{1}+y_{3} }{2})$

$Mid\ pointN(x_{5} ,y_{5})=(\frac{x_{2}+x_{3} }{2}, \frac{y_{2}+y_{3} }{2})$

Substituting the given value in above equation we get

$Mid\ pointM(x_{4} ,y_{4})=(\frac{-3+-4 }{2}, \frac{3+-2} }{2})$

∴ $Mid\ pointM(x_{4} ,y_{4})=(\frac{-7} }{2}, \frac{1}{2})$

∴ $Mid\ pointM(x_{4} ,y_{4})=(-3.5, 0.5)$

Similarly,

$Mid\ pointN(x_{5} ,y_{5})=(\frac{2+-4 }{2}, \frac{1+-2 }{2})$

∴ $Mid\ pointN(x_{5} ,y_{5})=(\frac{-2 }{2}, \frac{-1}{2})$

∴ $Mid\ pointN(x_{5} ,y_{5})=(-1, -0.5)$

∴ M(x₄ ,y₄) = (-3.5 , 0.5) and

N (x₅ ,y₅) = ( -1 , -0.5 )

given that BD is the median of ABD and that ABD is isosceles congruence postulate SSS can be used to prove which of the followin

Alja [10]

It is given in the question that

BD is the median. So it divides the opposite sides in two equal parts .

Therefore in triangles BAD and BCD,

AB and AC are congruent because of isosceles triangle.

AD and CD are congruent because of the median BD.

And BD and BD are congruent .

So the two triangles are congruent by SSS and the correct option is the first option .

1) Let f(x)=ax2+bx+c for some value of a, b and c. f intersects the x-axis when x=−2 or x=3, and f( 1 3 )=−25. Find the values o

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

1) a = -⅙, b = ⅙, c = 1

2) 6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

1) f(x) = ax² + bx + c

Given the roots, we can write this as:

f(x) = a (x + 2) (x − 3)

We know that f(13) = -25, so we can plug this in to find a:

-25 = a (13 + 2) (13 − 3)

-25 = 150a

a = -⅙

Therefore, the factored form is:

f(x) = -⅙ (x + 2) (x − 3)

Distributing:

f(x) = -⅙ (x² − x − 6)

f(x) = -⅙ x² + ⅙ x + 1

2) Volume of a right prism is area of the base times the height.

V = Ah

The base is an equilateral triangle. Area of a triangle is one half the base times height.

V = ½ ab h

The height of the triangle is the same as the height of the prism.

V = ½ bh²

In an equilateral triangle, the height is equal to half the base times the square root of 3.

V = ½ b (½√3 b)²

V = ⅜ b³

Given that V = 81, solve for b.

81 = ⅜ b³

216 = b³

b = 6
