Answer:
y = -(x -3)^2 +2
Step-by-step explanation:
The vertex form of the equation for a parabola is ...
y = a(x -h)^2 +k
where the vertex is (h, k) and the value 'a' is a vertical scale factor.
The value of 'a' can be found by looking at the y-value of points ±1 either side of the vertex relative to the vertex. Here, the vertex y-value is +2 at x=3, and either side goes down 1 unit (to y=1) for 1 unit to the right or left. So, a = -1.
Using the values we've read from the graph for the vertex (h, k) = (3, 2) and the scale factor a = -1, we can write the equation as ...
y = -(x -3)^2 +2
If you learned about the 45-45-90 triangle (which is isosceles), then the faster way is to know that the hypotenuse (side opposite of right angle) is √2 times either one of the sides.
3√2 = (√2)x
x = 3
But if you didn't learn the 45-45-90 triangle yet, that's ok.
Recall the trigonometric ratios for right triangles: sine (sin), cosine (cos), tangent (tan).
If your angle is x, then
sin(x) = opposite side / hypotenuse
cos(x) = adjacent side / hypotenuse
tan(x) = opposite side / adjacent side
Remember the hypotenuse is the side opposite and across from the right angle (3√2 in this case).
An acronym to remember this is SohCahToa.
In this problem, the angle given is 45°, and you need to find the length of the adjacent side x. The hypotenuse is also given as 3√2.
Because we have the adjacent side and the hypotenuse, we use cosine to relate those two sides
cos(45°) = x / (3√2)
x = (3√2)cos45°
If you plug this into your calculator (in degree mode), then
x = 3
Part A
So the coefficient would be the number that is with a variable. The coefficient of 7.50h is 7.50. The variable is h, variables can be a letter or symbol that stands for something in a equation. For this question, h stands for the number of hours Corinne works. The constant is the number that is alone in the equation. That doesn't have a variable with it. In this equation the constant would be the number 40.
Part B
To solve this I will plug in 25 into "h" in and 300 for "s" in the equation 7.50h + 0.20s + 40 and then solve.
1. 25 * 7.50 = $187.5.
2. 0.20 * 300 = $60
3. Add it all together: $187.50 + $60 = $247.50 + $40 = $287.50
Part C
If Corrine gets a raise and earns $9 an hour the coefficient would change. It would be 9h instead of 7.50h.
Since all of the bases (x) are equal you just add the exponents.
(The x has an exponent of 1)
3 + -4 + 1
-1 + 1
0
Since the answer is 0 it is x^0
And any number or variable set to the power of 0 equals 1, therefore...
ANSWER: x^3 • x^-4 • x = 1
Hope this helps!
