The answer to your question is <span>B.-2/3</span>
6 batteries cost $7.50 because u divide 10 by 8 and then multiply by 6
If it bisect, then using the Line Bisector Theorem, it must be equal.
So x+6=4x-21
get like terms on 1 side
x+6=4x-21
-x. +21
27= 3x
x=9
plug the x in
CD= 9+6
CD=15
Best to find the equation of the parabola first:
Its equation is y+12.5 = (x+1.5)^2, or y = -12.5 + (x+1.5)^2
Check the first possible x-intercept: let x = -2. Does y come out to 0?
y = -12.5 + (-0.5)^2 = -12.5 + 0.25. This is not equal to 0, so (-2,0) is not an x-intercept of this parabola. Continue checking each possible x-intercept until you find the right one (or ones).
