15. true 16. false in my coculations.
Answer:
21
Step-by-step explanation:
The contiguous U.S. consist of all states beside Alaska and Hawaii; therefore, there are 48 contiguous U.S. states. However, the ratio given to us only consists of 16 states [7 + 9 = 16]. If we need to expand the ratio, we multiply 16 by 3 to get 48. Thus, we also multiply each of the terms by 3, and the ratio becomes 21:27. Therefore, the number of contiguous U.S. states that border an ocean is 21.
Answer:
,
Step-by-step explanation:
The function of the graph can be written in the vertex form as
, where V(h,k)=V(2,4) is the vertex of the quadratic function.
We substitute the value to obtain;
,
The point (5,1) lies on the graph so we use it to determine the value of a.
,
,
,
The required equation is
,
