Answer: A. An OPEN circle on the number 5 and an arrow shading to the RIGHT.
The basic form of the equation is:
4p(x-h) = (y-k)2
(h,k) is the vertex
4(-0.5)(x-1.5) = (y-(-4))2
-2(x-1.5) = (y+4)2
-2(x-1.5) = y2 + 8y + 16
x - 1.5 = (-1/2)(y2 + 8y + 16)
x = (-1/2)y2 - 4y - 8 + 1.5
x = (-1/2)y2 - 4y - 6.5
I'm assuming you meant shirts instead of shorts for the older brother.
1/6 + 3/6 = 4/6
4/6 of the shirts belong to his brothers
(or 2/3 if you simplify the fraction)
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
1. The formula for calculate th area of a square is shown below:

Where s is the side of the square.
2. Therefore, if the square tabletop has side lengths of (4x-8) units you have:

3. By definition, the square of a binomial is always a trinomial:

4. Then, you obtain:
