mama giraffe: x

baby giraffe: \frac{2}{3} x

x + \frac{2}{3}x = 15

(3)x + (3)\frac{2}{3}x = (3)15

3x + 2x = 45

5x = 45

x = 9

baby giraffe: \frac{2}{3} x = \frac{2}{3}(9) = 2(3) = 6

An equation of a parabola with its vertex at (-3,2) and focus at (-3,-1) written in general equation form
german
<span> we have that
standard form of equation for parabola:
 (x-h)^2=-4p(y-k)
(h,k) --------->being the (x,y) coordinates of the vertex.
Parabola opens downwards because focus is below vertex on the axis of symmetry.
For given problem:
</span><span>vertex: (-3,2)
axis of symmetry: x=-3
p=distance from vertex to focus on the axis of symmetry=2-(-1)=3
4p=12
Directrix: y=2+p=5
Equation:
(x+3)^2=-12(y-2)

the answer is </span>(x+3)^2=-12(y-2)

Captain Ben has a ship, the H.M.S Crimson Lynx. The ship is five furlongs from the dread pirate Luis and his merciless band of t
grigory [225]

Answer:

We can see that this is dependent probability. We can find dependent probability of happening event A then event B by multiplying probability of event A by probability of event B given that event A already happened.

Step-by-step explanation:

In our case event A is pirate hitting captain's ship and event B is captain missing pirate's ship. We have been given that pirate shoots first so pirate's ship can't be hit before pirate shoots his cannons. So probability of hitting captain's ship is 1/3. We have been given that if Captain Ben's ship is already hit then Captain Ben will always miss. So the probability of Captain missing the dread pirate's ship given the pirate Luis hitting the Captain ship is 1. Now to find probability that pirate hits Captain, but Captain misses we will multiply our both probabilities.

Simplify completely quantity x squared minus 3 x minus 54 over quantity x squared minus 18 x plus 81 times quantity x squared pl
oee [108]
Your statemtent is incomplete.

I found the samestatment with the complete words: <span>Simplify completely quantity x squared minus 3 x minus 54 over quantity x squared minus 18 x plus 81 times quantity x squared plus 12 x plus </span>36 over x plus 6

Given that your goal is to learn an be able to solve any similar problem, I can teach you assuming that what I found is exactly what you need.

x^2 - 3x - 54            x^2 + 12x + 36
------------------    x   ---------------------
x^2 - 18x + 81              x + 6

factor x^2 - 3x - 54 => (x - 9)(x + 6)

factor x^2 - 18x + 81 => (x - 9)^2

factor x^2 + 12x + 36 = (x + 6)^2

Now replace the polynomials with the factors=>

(x - 9) (x + 6) (x + 6)^2        (x + 6)^2       x^2 + 12x + 36
------------------------------ =  --------------- = --------------------
    (x - 9)^2 (x + 6)                 (x - 9)               x - 9
