Mathematics

Serga [27]4 years ago

Answer:

It has a maximum

Step-by-step explanation:

The way I think about it is looking at "a" (the leading variable's coefficient, so __x²), if it's negative, the graph is a frown, but if it's positive, it's a smile. In this case, a is -2, so the graph would have the shape of a frown, which has a maximum.

I hope this helped!

The velocity of an object in meters per second varies directly with time in seconds since the object was dropped, as represented
IrinaVladis [17]

It is given to us that the velocity of an object in meters per second varies directly with time in seconds since the object was dropped, as represented by the table (which is not given to us). The acceleration due to gravity is the constant of variation. Now, we know, from basic physics that the value of the acceleration due to gravity in the SI unit is 9.8 m/s^2. Therefore, the second option is the correct option.

Describe two quantities that can be measured accurately by integers
myrzilka [38]
Since a quantity is a variable that could be described in terms of numbers, then the quantities that can be measured exactly be integers would be, say, the amount of houses to be supplied with power and the number of people in the household. A fraction could never be a possible amount, because a person and a house is counted as one whole.
