The vertex of this parabola is (2,-1). When the y value is 0, the x value is 5. What is the coefficient of the squared term in t

Vertex form: y = a(x - h)² + k
h = 2
k = -1
y = 0
x = 5

0 = a(5 - 2)² - 1
0 = 9a - 1
a = 1/9

Salama makes fruit baskets with oranges and bananas.

vovangra [49]

<em><u>The ratio for problem is:</u></em>

oranges : bananas = 9 : 6 or oranges : bananas = 6 : 4

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

Given that, Salama makes fruit baskets with oranges and bananas

She uses between 8 and 16 oranges and bananas in a ratio of 3 oranges to 2 bananas

Given ratio is:

Ratio of orange to bananas = 3 : 2

They add up to 5 fruits, so some possible values are 5, 10, 15 , 20, 25, etc

But we need a value between 8 and 16 oranges and bananas

So we can choose 15 or 10

Now let us choose 15 and solve

Let the oranges be 3x

Let the bananas be 2x

Therefore,

3x + 2x = 15

5x = 15

x = 3

Thus oranges = 3x = 3(3) = 9

Bananas = 2x = 2(3) = 6

Thus the ratio for problem is:

oranges : bananas = 9 : 6

Similarly solve for 10

3x + 2x = 10

5x = 10

x = 2

Thus oranges = 3x = 3(2) = 6

Bananas = 2x = 2(2) = 4

Thus the ratio for problem is:

oranges : bananas = 6 : 4

You roll a six-sided number cube. Which events are mutually exclusive?

maksim [4K]

Events are mutually exclusive only if they cannot both be true.
Only C is alright.

4 is a multiple of two so it can't be right.
Same logic works for B.

And then 2 is prime so then D is out too.

?simplified the expression

larisa [96]

The first two negatives cancel out and you're left with positive 4. Now go inside the square root and do the exponent. -4*-4 = 16. Then do the -4*3*1 = -12. Do 16-12 = 4. now the square root of 4 = 2. at the dominator is 2*3 = 6. right now they problem should look like 4+- 2/ 6. from there you split the problem in two. so you have 4+2/6 & 4-2/6 then you solve both problems.
6/6 2/6
1 1/3
1 & 1/3 are your answers. I hope this helped!

The dictionary is 3 inches thick. What is the volume of the dictionary

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

Square shaped = 27 cubic inches , Rectangular shaped = 3LW cubic Inches

Step-by-step explanation:

If the dictionary is a square ( all sides are equal ) the the volume is

V = Length * Length * Length = $L^{3}$

V = 3 * 3 * 3 = 27 $inch^{3}$

while if its rectangular ( all side are not equal ) shaped

V = Length * Width * Height (thickness)

V = L * W * 3 = 3LW $inch^{3}$
