Answer:

He completed 13 courses worth 3 credits and 5 courses worth 4 credits.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Number of courses worth 3 credits = x

Number of courses worth 4 credits = y

1. The student completed a total of 18 courses, then

x+y=18

2. The student earned a total of 59 credits, he earned 3x on 3 credits' courses and 4y on 4 credits' courses, so

3x+4y=59

3. You get the system of two equations:

\left\{\begin{array}{l}x+y=18\\ \\3x+4y=59\end{array}\right.

From the first equation

x=18-y

Substitute it into the second equation:

3(18-y)+4y=59\\ \\54-3y+4y=59\\ \\4y-3y=59-54\\ \\y=5\\ \\x=18-5=13

He completed 13 courses worth 3 credits and 5 courses worth 4 credits.

The vertex of this parabola is at (3,-2). when the x-value is 4, the y-value is 3. whatis the coefficient of the squared express
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

<em>The coefficient of the squared expression in the parabolas equation will be 5.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The vertex form of parabola</u> is:  y=a(x-h)^2 +k , where (h,k) is the vertex point and a is the coefficient of x^2 term.

The vertex is given as (3,-2). That means, h=3 and k=-2

So, the vertex form will be:  y=a(x-3)^2-2

Given that, when the x-value is 4, the y-value is 3. So, plugging these values into the above equation, we will get.....

3=a(4-3)^2-2\\ \\ 3=a(1)^2-2\\ \\ a=3+2=5

Thus, the coefficient of the squared expression in the parabolas equation will be 5.
