So if 3/4 of the seats are filled, there are a few methods we can use.

The simplest method:

Just multiply 3/4 by 500, to get 1500/4, or 375.

So 375 seats are filled.

A method that can be used with harder problems and will be more efficient in those cases:

Using proportions.

You could say,

?/500 = 3/4

And then cross multiply,

500 * 3 = 4 * x (say the ? = x)

1500 = 4x

/4 /4

x = 375

So either way we get the answer, 375 seats were filled.

Pat shows that 16 1/2= the square root of 16. What is one possible way pat could have shown this correctly?

kifflom [539]

<h3>Answer: Choice C</h3>

The base 16 is the same as 4*4.

From there, the rule $(a*b)^c = a^c*b^c$ is used to get $(4*4)^{1/2} = 4^{1/2}*4^{1/2}$

Afterward, the exponents are added getting 1/2+1/2 = 2/2 = 1. The rule is $a^b*a^c = a^{b+c}$ which only works if the bases are both the same.

Find the equation f(x) = a(x - h)2 + k for a parabola containing point (3, 6) and having (1, -2) as a vertex. What is the standa

nlexa [21]

f(x) = 2 $x^{2}$ -4x

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Given, f(x) = a(x - h)2 + k

Point on the parabola is (3, 6)

Vertex (h,k) = (1,-2)

Step 2:

Substituting the vertex in the equation we have,

f(x) = a(x-1)2 -2

Substituting the point (3,6) in this we have,

6 = a(3-1)2 - 2 => 6 = 4a -2

=> 4a = 8 => a = 2

Step 3 :

Substituting the value for a and the vertex in the given equation we have

f(x) = 2(x-1)2 -2 = 2(x2 - 2x + 1) -2 = 2x2 - 4x

=> f(x) = 2 $x^{2}$ -4x which is the standard form
