Answer:

  20 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-intercepts are symmetrically located around the x-coordinate of the vertex, so are at

  1.5 ± 5/2 = {-1, 4}

Using one of these we can find the unknown parameter "a" in the parabola's equation (in vertex form) ...

  0 = a(4 -1.5)² +12.5

  0 = 6.25a +12.5 . . . . . simplify

  0 = a +2 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 6.25

  -2 = a

Then the standard-form equation of the parabola is ...

  y = -2(x -1.5)² +12.5 = -2(x² -3x +2.25) +12.5

  y = -2x² +6x +8

This tells us the y-intercept is 8. Then the relevant triangle has a base of 5 units and a height of 8. Its area is given by the formula ...

  A = (1/2)bh = (1/2)(5)(8) = 20 . . . . units²

TEA [102]

Answer:

$24166.67

Step-by-step explanation:

$25 per hour and works 35 hours per week

Norma Jean makes 35 * 25  (<em>without sales) = </em>$875

<em> </em>Total commission made by Norma<em> </em>= 4500-875 = $3625

<em>let total number of sales by Norma be x</em>

15% is the same as 15/100

<em>so </em>(15/100) * x =3625 <em> multiplying both sides by 100</em>

15x = 362500<em> making x subject of formula</em>

x = 362500/15

x = 24 166.67

Norma should sell total items worth $24166.67

Which unit of measure would be appropriate for the volume of a sphere with a radius of 2 meters?
Goryan [66]

The volume of a figure is the quantity of three-dimensional space enclosed by a closed surface, or simpler the number of cubes required to fill it completely.

The basic unit of volume in the metric system is the liter (l).There are 1000 liters per cubic meter.

Howeever, the unit of measure that would be appropriate for the volume of a sphere with a radius of 2 meters is cubic meters. Correct answer: C
