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

A pound of popcorn is popped for a class party. The popped corn is put into small popcorn boxes that each hold 120 popped kernel
V125BC [204]
Let x be the no of boxes.

120x = 14501
x = 14501/120

Upon division the quotient +1 = The no of boxes required and 
The remainder is the amount of popcorn in the last box

No of boxes = 121 boxes
Kernels in the last box = 101 kernels

Find the value for f(x) = 22
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Another way to solve would be to distribute first:

22 = 2(x + 6)

22 = 2x + 12

Subtract 12:

22 - 12 = 2x - 12

10 = 2x

Divide by 2:

10 / 2 = 2x / 2

5 = x
