the equation would be 2+3x

since the bird is starting off with 2 pieces of string, you have that number added to the variable number, which would be 3x, since it's getting 3 pieces of string each day.

2+4(3) equals 14

Your answer would be C. 14!

I hope this helps!

A local television station for a city with a population of 500,000 recently conducted a poll where they invited viewers to call

Scilla [17]

Answer:

b. Invalid, because the sample may not be representative of the population.

Step-by-step explanation:

A sample of around 10% of the population is needed to be representative.

In this question:

We have a population of 500,000, and a sample of 10,000.

10,000/500,000 = 1/50 = 0.02 = 2% of the population, so not representative, and option b is correct.

Find the equation, (f(x) = a(x - h)2 + k), for a parabola containing point (2, -1) and having (4, -3) as a vertex. What is the s

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

$f(x)=\frac{1}{2}x^2-4x+5$

Step-by-step explanation:

A parabola is written in the form

$f(x)=a((x-h)^2+k)$ (1)

where:

$h$ is the x-coordinate of the vertex of the parabola

$ak$ is the y-coordinate of the vertex of the parabola

$a$ is a scale factor

For the parabola in the problem, we know that the vertex has coordinates (4,-3), so we have:

$h=4$ (2)

$ak=-3$

From this last equation, we get that $a=\frac{-3}{k}$ (3)

Substituting (2) and (3) into (1) we get the new expression:

$f(x)=-\frac{3}{k}((x-4)^2+k) = -\frac{3}{k}(x-4)^2 -3$ (4)

We also know that the parabola contains the point (2,-1), so we can substitute

x = 2

f(x) = -1

Into eq.(4) and find the value of k:

$-1=-\frac{3}{k}(2-4)^2-3\\-1=-\frac{3}{k}\cdot 4 -3\\2=-\frac{12}{k}\\k=-\frac{12}{2}=-6$

So we also get:

$a=-\frac{3}{k}=-\frac{3}{-6}=\frac{1}{2}$

So the equation of the parabola is:

$f(x)=\frac{1}{2}((x-4)^2 -6)$ (5)

Now we want to rewrite it in the standard form, i.e. in the form

$f(x)=ax^2+bx+c$

To do that, we simply rewrite (5) expliciting the various terms, we find:

$f(x)=\frac{1}{2}((x^2-8x+16)-6)=\frac{1}{2}(x^2-8x+10)=\frac{1}{2}x^2-4x+5$

A credit card company offers an annual 2% cash-back rebate on all gasoline

Nitella [24]

$4,350 x 0.02 = $87

$360 - $87 = $273

Interest $270 no rebate

so $273 - $270 = $3

a company uses two vans to transport workers from a free parking lot to the work place between 7:00 and 9:00 am one van has 6 mo

k0ka [10]

So first, I would assign the small van a variable for how many people it can hold, or x.

So since it makes two trips,

2x

And since the other van can hold six more people,

2x + x + 6

And 57 people are transported:

3x + 6 = 57

We can then solve.

3x = 57 - 6

3x = 51

x = 17

So since we now know a small can hold 17 people, and we know that the larger van has 6 more seats, we can just say

17 + 6 = 23

So the large van has 23 seats.
