Answer: y = (x +2)² + 5
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
y = a(x - h)² + k <em>where "a" is the leading coefficient and (h, k) is the vertex</em>
Since we don't know "a", we need to plug in the point (x, y) and the vertex (h, k) to solve for "a": (x, y) = (0, 9) and (h, k) = (-2, 5)
y = a(x - h)² + k
9 = a(0 - (-2))² + 5
9 = a(0 + 2)² + 5
9 = a(2)² + 5
<u>-5 </u> <u> -5 </u>
4 = a(4)
<u>÷4 </u> <u> ÷4 </u>
1 = a
Next, plug in "a" and the vertex (h, k):
y = a(x - h)² + k
y = 1(x +2)² + 5
y = (x +2)² + 5
Answer: x = -5, x = 6
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
"Solutions" are also called roots, zeroes, and x-intercepts and are where the parabola crosses the x-axis.
The parabola crosses the x-axis at x = -5 and at x = 6

First, some defintions
reciprocals are like a/b and b/a or 5/1 and 1/5
remember,

john's fraction is reciprocal of sarah's
john=a/b
sarah=b/a
david multiplies his by sarah and gets 12/35
(b/a)(david)=12/35
multplies his number by john and gets 12/35
(a/b)(david)=15/7
hmmm
(b/a)(david)=12/35 and
(a/b)(david)=15/7
if we divide them then we do





square root both sides

therefor
b=2 and a=5
john's number is a/b=5/2
sarah's number is 2/5
david, hmm
sarah times david=12/35
2/5 times david=12/35
times both sides by 5/2
david=60/70
david=6/7
check other
john times david=15/7
5/2 times 6/7=15/7
30/14=15/7
15/7=15/7
true
sarah's favorite number is 2/5
john's favorite number is 5/2
david's favorite number is 6/7
For this, you would use simultaneous equations.
w=walnuts
a=almonds
3w+6a=51
5w+4a=55
Find a way to make one of the unknowns equal. since we are trying to work out the price of a pound of walnuts, I am going to make a equal on each side to leave us with w. This leaves us with:
15w+12a=165
6w+12a=102
Then take them away to leave w:
9w=163
Then solve:
w=163/9
= 18.11111111...
Then round it to 2 decimal places as the measurement is currency.
So 1 pound of walnuts equals $18.11
