Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Glen decides he only wants caramels and candy corn.  

p is the number of caramels Glen purchases.

Let q be the number of candy corns Glen purchases

Since price per pound caramel is 0.95 cost of caramel

=0.95p

Since price per pound candy corns is 0.79 cost of caramel

=0.79q

Total pounds = Glens bag weight = p+q =1.7

and total cost = 0.95p+0.79q = 1.48

Hence we can write the number of pounds of candy corn in two ways

q = 1.7-p and

q=\frac{1.48-0.95p}{0.79}

A car traveled 180 miles at a constant rate. Write an equation that would
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

180/t = r

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we would have to write an equation that represents the scenario given.

We know that the car traveled 180 miles at a constant rate.

We would use the y = mx + b format for the equation, but replacing the variables with "r" and "t"

We know that 180 will be our y-variable, since that would be the base of the equation:

180 = ???

And to find how long/fast it will take the car, we would need to multiply the rate of speed "r" and time "t" in order to get our distance.

Plug it into the equation:

180 = rt

With this set up, you can find the rate of speed of the car when you know the time.

You would simply solve it as:

180/t = r

After plotting all the three points, we get the parabolic equation in the form is 2(x - 1)²-34.

<h3>What is parabola?</h3>

Any point on a parabola, which has the shape of a U, is situated at an equal distance from the focus, a fixed point, and the directrix, a fixed line.

General equation of the quadratic equation,

Y = ax² + bx +c

Given points,

(-2, 0),

(-1, -10),

(4, 0).

Putting the points in the general equation,

Putting (-2, 0), we get

0 = 4a - 2b + c

Putting (-1, -10), we get

-10 = a - b +c

Putting (4, 0), we get

0 = 16a + 4b +c

Solving all equations we get,

a = 2 , b = -4 , c = -16

After putting the values,

Y = 2x²- 4x- 16

2(x² - 2x - 8)

2(x²- 2x + 1 - 1 - 16)

=2(x - 1)²-34

Hence we get the required equation in the parabolic form.
