Answer:

  E.  40 and 33

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem tells you the sum of the areas of the smaller squares will match the area of the largest square.

The answer choices have sums of ...

  A: 76; B: 73; C: 96; D: 66; E: 73

So, <em>choices with the correct sum are B and E</em>.

If this question asks you to "choose all that apply," then B & E will be your answer choices.

__

We note that the areas of the smaller squares appear to be not much different in size. If their areas were 23 and 50, the smaller square would be less than half the size of the larger one. So, if the figure is drawn approximately to scale, the choice of <em>40 and 33 is a better choice</em>.

Diagram below shows the curve of a quadratic function
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

q = -8, k = 2.

r = -6.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = (x - p)^2 + q

This is the vertex form of a quadratic where the vertex is at the point (p, q).

Now the x intercepts are at -6 and 2 and the curve is symmetrical about the line x = p.

The value of p is the midpoint of  -6 and 2 which is (-6+2) / 2 = -2.

So we have:

f(x) = 1/2(x - -2)^2 + q

f(x) = 1/2(x + 2)^2 + q

Now the graph passes through the point (2, 0) , where it intersects the x axis, therefore, substituting x = 2 and f(x) = 0:

0 = 1/2(2 + 2)^2 + q

0 = 1/2*16 + q

0 = 8 + q

q = -8.

Now convert this to standard form to find k:

f(x) = 1/2(x + 2)^2 - 8

f(x) = 1/2(x^2 + 4x + 4) - 8

f(x) = 1/2x^2 + 2x + 2 - 8

f(x) = 1/2x^2 + 2x - 6

So k = 2.

The  r  is the y coordinate when x = 0.

so r = 1/2(0+2)^2 - 8

=  -6.
