Since you need the vertex, and knowing the vertex will tell you the axis of symmetry, it is convenient to put the equation in vertex form.
.. -x^2 -4x +1
.. = -(x^2 +4x) +1
.. = -(x^2 +4x +(4/2)^2) +1 -(-(4/2)^2) . . . . complete the square
.. = -(x +2)^2 +5
The vertex is (-2, 5).
The axis of symmetry is x = -2.
Answer:
<em>Square= 12 units</em>
<em>Triangle long sides= 19 units</em>
<em>Triamgle short side= 10 units</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>It is a square, so all sides are the same. That means 3x+3 equals 4x. What number can be subsituted into x to equal 4? If x is 3, then 3x+3 would be 3(3)+3. It equals 12. 4 times 3 is also 12. It works! That also means the square's side is 12 units.</em>
<em>Square= 12 units</em>
<em />
<u><em>So, x=3</em></u>
<em />
<em>The triangle's longer sides are 7x-2. Subsitute x in, which is 3, and you get 7(3)-2. It equals 19. The two longer sides of the triangle are the same length, so both are 19 units.</em>
<em>Triangle long sides= 19 units</em>
<em />
<em>The triangles shorter side is 2x+4. Subsitute 3 in for x and you get 2(3)+4. It equals 10, so the shorter side is 10 units.</em>
<em>Triangle short side= 10 units</em>
Answer:
100 Hours
Step-by-step explanation:
since the tank has 15,000 gallons of water. it drains at a rate of 150 gallons per hour so 15,000 divided by 150 equals 100
The answer is 10 because it had
